[QUOTE="chscag, post: 732220, member: 46727"] [B]DO NOT[/B] turn on the machine without the metal shield or screws in place! Serious damage can occur to the new drive. Use a pair of sturdy tweezers or a long set of needle nose pliers to remove the hard drive and install it correctly. Make sure the pull tab is tucked under the drive so the drive can be easily removed if you should need to do so. BTW, the instructions on the Apple site are very complete as are the instructions at [url]www.ifixit.com[/url]. You may have missed those steps. :\ Regards. [/QUOTE]
