[G4] Trying to install a ATA drive in the rear carrier

[Snow White]

That wee screw is easy to find and remove, but putting it back is near 
impossible.  I did not replace mine in the Dual 1.25 GHZ G4.  It does 
not seem neccesary with the locking mechanism engaged.  Maybe it is 
useful for shipping to secure the HD permanently during jostling.
