Once I got that off it was pretty straight forward. I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis that's for sure! I also can't see how practice would speed up the process much. You'd think they'd standardize on a few sizes of screws. Seemed like every hole had a unique size in it. The rubber mounts on the hard drive were pretty cool. My Toshiba is pretty quiet when just spinning but has a very noticable read/write action. Dan
