As a temporary measure, remove the metal clip that holds the floppy drive in
place and use that to hold the new hard drive in place. The clip just slides
into place and will not damage the drive. I had a Conner scsi drive held in
place like this for about a year with no ill effects on either the drive or
the machine. I am assuming that the new drive is a 3.5" job of course.
