i never did this before im being very delicate with it. i can see you must be. i would take off the old hdd and mount the new one but, i dont have the right screw driver. if i just plug it in without mounting it can anything bad happen? can the new hard drive explode? anything that is gonna cause me hardship? it says i must ground myself to avoid ESD problems. this is not my expertise somebody please help? can i just plug it in and let it lay carefully in the pc tower? oh am i gonna get a static shock if i dont ground myself? sigh. why is this so hard!
