The old drive is indeed screwed down and it will not simply pop out of its case. The new drive will not have the same screw holes. However, the fit will be tight enough, and the pins secure enough, simply to leave the new drive in the case without worry. The pin cable is tucked a bit under the outer case and is a real monster to reattach properly to the new drive. After hours of trying to get the thing seated correctly (with countless "sad" Mac faces), I gave up and had to take it to my friendly Mac dealer, whose nimble fingers popped it in quite readily (and at no charge, I might add...). -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
