The OP mentioned the screw as being to the right. That sounds like the single large drive mount that holds all the drives. With the screw removed and the cables detached the drive sled should lift up from the right side and slide to the right, release the tabs at the other end. It's basically like above but a different direction and it's larger. One suggestion as far as CPU upgrades is concerned, check the usual sources (e-bay, craig's list, surplus stores, etc.) for a G4 computer. You may be able to get a "new" computer for as much as the upgrade with a similar speed CPU and it will be better in other ways (faster bus, AGP graphics, large drive support, etc.). -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
