- Hi Andy. I just got a 2.5 hd for my 1200 and am wondering on how it gets
- fastened to the computer. Also how does it not short out while lying down
- with the ciruitry facing down against the metal flashing inside. I have
- laid it on a piece of cardboard right now. So far it has had two occasions
- that it would not boot and I had to take it out and turn it over before I
- could get it to work. The cable is on alright and it is a bought one. A
- friend has his hd on metal stilts <?> and this raises it and also holds it
- in place. I can't seem to find anyone that sells them. Any suggestions is
- needed here....
