Hello everyone,

First off hello, I'm new to the forum and I hope you all can help me.

I have what I perceive to be a pretty dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer myself, so I'm hoping you can help me.

I have an HP dv8000 laptop which has two HD bays. I just purchased a new Seagate 120GB ATA100 drive for it but didn't seem to realize that I need the metal plate that the drive attaches to. I have looked everywhere for one, but can't seem to find one. Does anyone know where I can purchase one so I can get my HD up and running?

I'm sure I'll need help after the install too.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
