What I've done is to mount the drive by the rear holes, place a block of foam under the front of the drive, and tighten the screws more firmly. Drilling does help. And it IS the more proper way. But I've run ten SE's myself and among donatees with absolutely no damage to the drive. Jeff -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
