Re: [MLUG] Replacement hard drives for notebook

[George <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I have an old thinkpad that I "rebuild" due to a small fire...

http://128.206.166.106/images/techie.htm

I constantly am swaping parts in and out...  the only problem that I have had 
so far is that the pins will bend and your drive will error out...   (just 
straighten the pin and off you go)...  Oh and do shock your drive with 
static...
