None of the harddiscs I've bought come with screws.
They take a special size, not a normal metric or imperial size.
When fixing my SCSI harddisc in, I used some nylon screws from Maplin.
They're slightly too big, but because they're nylon, I've just forced them in.
Naturally they' not a strong as metal ones, but I don't know where to get metal
ones of the right size from (at least, not on their own).

BFN !
