some force is nearly always needed, for example my crap compraq laptop has screws but also clips.
i currently have no idea where i left the screws but thats no prob as the clips hold everything 2gether.
and i can remember the same thing from opening a sony laptop from a friend.

Cheers plop  ..

i did  kinda give it some force  ..  but if you know the laptop youll realise why i am very weary of forcing it ..

anyway  i found out its not any sort of standard HD  in it  

so im left with the only option of ordering a Firewire CDrom Caddy..

all i wanna  do is  reinstall the thing  lol

??????Hawk??????

hi  Mutor

yes its the Ultra Thin vgn-x505vp  and ive got a  Firewire CDrom  caddy coming

 i.LINK?1 S400 (IEEE 1394)  =   Firewire   :))

and Bios  allows  Boot from i-link..

so alls well   ..  I hope

if not   you may find it on E-bay  in a couple of days    lol
