    When I first got my e1505 about 6-7mths ago I replaced the stock HD with a new HD...

    Apparently I didn't tighten one of the screws enough and it has fallen out :(

    I found this page:
    http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins6400/en/sm/hddrive.htm

    That says the screws are:
    Where can I buy these?
    TIA,

    I'd take one the other screws (carefully) and head to a hardware store and see if they can't help you. Radioshack/an electronics store may also have what you are lookin' for.

    Have you tried calling Dell? They could be expensive though, assuming they do have them and sell them.

    Looks like you've got it.

    In the future, for what it's worth, these guys have everything: www.mcmaster.com We buy from them for work (engine manufacturing plant) all the time and they are great.
