Problem is, the EIDE is screwed down by these wierd little buggers...never seen screws like that. If anyone knows the correct way to modify a network adapter, or knows what I'm talking about with these screws (or is willing to pop open their own NA to see), I'd really like some help. It'd save me the $70 for a new hard drive.

sell the hd on ebay buy a new seagate problem solved
