CJ> I have a Compaq that was given to me, HD dead but everything
 CJ>else seems OK.  Great, I think, all I have to do is swap in a new
 CJ>HD.  Pop the box, and there's about half an inch or so of space between
 CJ>the HD and the CD-ROM, and I've been unable to find a screwdriver
 CJ>with an offset that small.  Anyone here have suggestions as to where
 CJ>to get one?

 TA> Buy cheap screw driver. Heat shaft and bend to suit needs. Worked
 TA> for me ok

	The others are so insistent that maybe first I'd better
pop the top again and see if I missed something--easier to do.
	But, yes, I can get access to a propane torch and a vise.
I like the way you think "out of the box"!
