how do i connect my HD from my dell to my lap top? Is there i plug that i can buy to do it? I.E. a usb to sata or something? I can figure out how to boot leopard because i did y macbook so it should be the same. Then are you saying set it up on my macbook before i install the HD back into the dell? Im not sure what you mean by a few terms:kernel,kexts?
