[G4] Help! Removing Original Hard Drive from Sawtooth

[shopdog]

I will do as you advise to get the drive out.

I did not get documentation with the new drive, although it is new.  I 
will check the manufacturer's web site.

Is it possible that there are no jumpers?  I'm sure it's obvious I'm a 
little green to tinkering with computer innards.
