I opened it up, it was actually surprisingly easy after I looked at the case for a while.
I'm a bit bummed out because it was a SMART drive and I can't afford a replacement one

.
So I will have to use my external HDD one

, but I'm facing a new problem of not having the correct screw driver as you might know considering its a compaq

I have the screw driver but not one that is for that specific size

.
So I took it out and its rattling by the way, when I checked the SMART logs though it didn't show any sign of being fucked up so I take its just cuput?
Okay I decided to go SSD with a CF to IDE converter and a 2GB Compact Flash card.
Also brought one for a 3.5" (hopfully) CF converter so I can put a 8GB MicroDrive in it to play around with.
