My macaholic friend was over to help me install a new DVD-RW in my
newly
acquired G4 sawtooth tower. He has full sets of both metric and
standard

one to
fit. What are these things? ( the wide head screws 2 per corner)
Corner of what? What are you trying to take apart? I don't recall such
screws.
On my Sawtooth, I open the big side door, unplug the ribbon connectors
at the rear, and remove the shield. Then I remove the front door cover
panel. It pops off by depressing the plastic tabs on one side and
pulling it out from that side, and has short tabs that fit slots on the
opposite side -- works on kind of the same principal the battery cover
on a remote does. There are two small screws, Phillips I think, one on
either side of the media cage. After unscrewing them, the cage should
then slide forward and out, IIRC. Once it's out, you can unscrew the CD
drive and replace it with the new DVD_RW, then slide it back in the
same way it came out in reverse order.
I could be wrong, but........
All the best,
Ken N.
