    ...that has installed an extra hard drive into their new FX laptops.

    When I installed mine, it went fine. But I didn't have any extra screws lieing around so I installed with out them. Will this be bad? After install I shaked it a bit and I didn't here anything moving. What would you guys recommend?

    I was going to order the screws on ebay, but after useing the screws off the other drive, I saw how tight the drives are. No worries
