Upgrading my Macbook

[amosbee]

Hi, I currently own a macbook pro running OS X 10.4.11 with a 2GHz intel core processor with protools LE 7.1.1 that came with my digi002 console. My protools is backed up on my avid media drive RS80. My macbook and harddrive are about to die and I plan on buying upgrades and need to know a few things. If I transfer my avid hard drive to a new hard drive and install an upgraded version of protools on the new computer, will the current format be affected? Will I still be able to access my music if i upgrade my computer and protools version? I have bought a new hard drive already which is not Avid- does this matter? I think however the new harddrive is not compatable with the old OS i am currently running and am having trouble swapping over information between the harddrives. My biggest concern is transferring information from my avid harddrive to the new one before the Avid dies. Any help is welcome!! Thanks
