How to install a 2.5-inch (laptop size) hard drive in a 3.5-inch (desktop size) drive bay:

1. Search locally or on the internet for an appropriate mounting bracket designed for mounting a 2.5-inch disk in a 3.5-inch bay. Buy it.
2. Shut down and unplug the computer into which the hard disk will be installed. Open up the computer’s case.
3. Discover that the mounting bracket you bought is physically incompatible with the drive bay and/or the hard disk.
4. Scrounge up some string, cardboard, and rubber bands.
5. ???
6. Close the case, plug the power cable back in, boot up, and write a blog post describing your daring exploits.
