Thanks James. Yes, I read the instructions, and with the help of a friend who is a little less squeamish than I am about bending parts of new computers, have installed the drive. I guess I was just surprised by the fact that while the lower slot of this drive bay is perfectly proportioned, the upper slot is deliberately designed to be too large. Perhaps this is, as 'id_est' who also replied to me suggested, because some drives are different sizes. It just struck me as somewhat clumsy. I'm somehow unreasonably squeamish about forcing anything to do with high-tech equipment. Silly me. Thanks for the help. Julie
