Depending on the drive, you will need some special bits to use on the screws of the drive. They are often sold as a 'security' bit set at electronic's stores. Try and find one with bits starting at size 6 as the smaller screws are often used on drives. The other thing is to find all the screws underneath labels. If you press on the labels and drag your finger across them, you should find the depression very easily. Use an xacto knife to cut a hole to get at the screw. You will be surprised how shiny the HD disk actually is. -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?"
