Many have used very small plastic wire-ties to attach the drive to the 
old bracket. I got ambitious and made some adapter rails from Lexan to 
match the old brackets to the new drive. Wasn't really worth the effort 
frankly, unless I ever get around to using those as prototypes to produce 
a run of thousands of injection molded parts. Sadly, the market for such 
an item is small and shrinking every day.

Excellent point, please do not use any sort of foam to support an 
internal HD. If you want to just shtick it in there, I've found hotmelt 
glue quite useful for such tasks.
