if you are concerned about the Applecare warranty, then you could
probably have an Apple certified technician replace the drive.
Apple might continue to cover the warranty then.
About six months ago, AppleCare told me that I couldn't even do
that--that I was stuck with the drive I originally bought with my
PowerBook (Ti G4 667 rev. 2). This struck me as draconian, but
there didn't seem anything I could do about it. (Now that the
computer is out of warranty I am planning on replacing the drive.)
That's interesting. I could understand them not covering the drive,
but to not cover the rest of the warranty seems a bit odd. I wonder
if that could be challenged under the Magnuson-Moss act. That one
comes up a lot when a car dealer will try and invalidate a car
warranty claim based on the fact that an aftermarket part is
installed on the car (one that does not have anything to do with
problem being covered under warranty). For example, I replace the
shifter in my car myself, the water pump fails, and the dealer won't
cover the water pump failure even though it's covered under warranty.
