I go to replace the hard drive in my Powermac, everythings going fine except, I can't get this one screw off the hard drive carrier and now of course I've stripped the screw!

Any ideas on how I can get the screw out? I've tried pliers but it's not working & I've already done enough damage to the carrier.

Is there anywhere I can find the same hard drive carrier?

Any help is appreciated, I'm desperate!

Try Proline Distribution. They are having a closeout sale on all of their PowerMac bezels and hard drive trays. I think it is Proline.com- but search the news here at macnn.com. There was a short story on them earlier this week or last week. You didn't say what type of powermac you had, but I think this is your best bet.
