A little while ago I tried upgrading the HD in my SE from the 20Meg I got it

but when I tried putting in the new drive I realized that the mounting holes
in the drive didn't match the ones in the bracket (it was off by a couple of
mm).
Weird, they should line up just fine. Check you aren't doing something daft like mounting the drive the wrong way around or something. All holes on 3.5" hard disks are all standardised, and thus any drive should fit any mounting, and if it doesn't it's due to bad manufacturing on the part of the hard disk manufacturer. I for one have mounted no end of different drives in an SE/30 without issues.
Tell us what make the drive is and the model and maybe someone might be the wiser about it...
