Hard drives are always 6-32 UNC. Zip and CD drives are always M3-0.5. Remember ... the screws which Apple uses throughout its machines may look like 6-32 UNC, but they're actually M3.5-0.6. Make the mistake of interchanging 6-32 UNC and M3.5-0.6 and you've just cross-threaded your Mac or your drive. Repairs are possible, but only if you have an ultra-rare M3.5-0.6 tap. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
