Stopped HDs are never good. I hope you didn't break it. I like clammys. They are cooool.

No its fine. It was my old Compaq's HD. After Leopard comes out I plan to get XP for my MacBook (I don't trust the current version of Boot Camp) so it had no use to me and I wanted to salvage all of it I can.

Niiice...fixing it yourself gives a sense of accomplishment. I'm going to fix a DVD player tomorrow, parts arrived yesterday.
I replaced my 2005 iBook's HD, 40 bazillion screws and all. Not hard if you are patient and methodical.
