I'm not familiar with that kit, but I *am* familiar with HP's Vectra computers. Vectras have special rails which screw onto standard 5.25 drives. I'll guess that upgrade kit includes these rails. Just unscrew them, and you'll have something that'll fit in a standard case. > I mean why would they? To make it easier to install and remove drives. Easier to *install* anyway because the rails snap in. Removal involves reaching into the case and pressing two plastic tabs hard, which is a hassle. Good luck... - Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overton, Hewlett-Packard (San Diego Division), mark@sdd.hp.com "A hundred thousand lemmings can't be wrong." ...
