Have you ever looked at the inside of a Dell? I added a new 60 GB drive to mine this morning. No screwdrivers are necessary to do this — all you have to do is slip a couple of rails on the drive and slide it into the bay until it clicks.
At least, that’s what happens if you have drive rails. Without the right rails, you can’t mount a hard drive because there are no screw holes anywhere inside the case. They did, however, generously include two spare rails for a 3.5″ floppy drive.
Thanks Dell. Naturally, if someone upgrades their computer, they’ll add a second floppy drive. Good thinking.
In half an hour, with the aid of pliers, a pen knife, and twist ties, I adapted (read: brutally mangled) the floppy drive rails so that they’d hold the hard drive. Mission accomplished.
