[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1805928, member: 234411"] [B]ANOTHER UPDATE![/B] Well, I ordered the same WD 1TB HDD from eBay - only $37 - came today and installed - reformatted from NTFS to HFS+ and seems to be ready to use; OWC had a faster 1TB drive but wanted $67. As to the old drive, I used Method #8 from my previous link - drilled a 3/8" hole completely through - could have done more holes but will turn into Best Buy w/ some other items for disposal/recycling - likely will see the 'media shredder', me thinks.
