The process of repacing the drive should be rather simple mechanically.
The only thing to watch for is the ribbon cable connection. Some drives
and cables don't have a key to make sure you orient it corrctly, and I
have sometimes plugged the cable in backwards. The striped end (pin 1)
should usually be on the inside (near the center) of the drive.

Good luck.

I'm going to change out my A drive and have never done this before.
Does anyone have any tips as to what 'to-do'  and what 'not to-do'?  I'm
looking forward to building my own PC in the near future and this is my
first step in building my confidence.  I've previously added a CD-RW,
and have put in and taken out sound cards, ethernet cards, etc. so I
feel somewhat comfortable tackling this. TIA
