    I think Fry's or New Egg would have the right screws.

    OK, I will try Frys. Thanks. New egg doesn't seem to have the proper screws. They have mother board screws but not those tiny black screws that fit the hard drive.

    If original drive has 4 screws, use 2 of them in second drive. If that is why you need them. In case you hadn't thought of it.

    If you can go to Ebay and look on there most likely someone has your parts for sale on there.

    Tried that. The ones offered on Ebay seem to be a tad too large. But they are cheap. 100 screws for $6.00 US.
