I looked around for the camera...it wasn't close enough...so no pictures. I may provide a picture of the drive that was replaced though...because that pinhole...the one clearly marked "Do Not Cover"...well wouldn't you know...that great french QC...slapped the 2 sided tape holding the plate to the drive right over that sucker.

So...it was only a matter of time. I'm surprised it lasted this long considering the number of planes its been on.

Drive is formatting now...looks like I have a 20 gig 6 gig mp3 player now:-)

Some notes.

Easier than I thought...though the screws holding on the cover are deceptive. The ones at the top of the unit come out very easily...and you would expect the same on the bottom next to the USB. Wrong...the screws on either side of the USB are twice as long. Deceptive.

Also...the screws go through the lid back into the lid. I may take a photo of this when I wake up (cover is still off). Its pretty flimsy...so pushing down to keep the screwdriver in the tiny heads will likely bend the plastic...lesson...make sure you have a small philips head screwdriver that fits perfectly...this way you avoid bending these pieces.

Oh yeah...he lists a T-10 bit...I used a T-9.

Also...it may be a good idea to have a couple of strips of 2 sided tape. The plate doesn't come off of the drive cleanly. There was enough stick left to put it on the new drive...but it would have been nice to have at least one clean piece to make sure it doesn't slip.

Drive in unit was a 6g 4200 rpm 9.5mm Fujutisu...replaced with same form rotation drive...just 20g. 87 with free shipping from avlogic.

And I didn't cover the pressure hole :-)

=====added in edit====

I tried to use Drive Manager in W2k as suggested...but it didn't seem to want to offer me "Create Partition" as a selection on the USB drive. So I used Partition Magic. One more reason to love that app!
