    SO i just replaced my hard drive with a samsung 80GB 5400rpm..... I am just wondering about the sticker film attached to the old hard drive..... I placed it on the green board side.... but anyways the hard drive hole is on the other side and it says do not cover but yet the encasing that holds the hard drive in place is covering the hole.... Could someone explain to me how they intalled the hard drive and the way you place it and what you did with the stick film sheet that was attached to the old hard drive...

    Perhaps you can drill a small hole in the encasing? Or is that option? It is not a good idea to cover up that hole, it's there to ensure that air pressure does not become a problem.
