PC help: Fitting disks in cases

Installing a hard disk in a computer case

Q I have just built a new Antec P150 case. To mount the 5.25in DVD-RW unit, the manual mentions two plastic mounting rails. What does this refer to, as the drive was held in by screws in the old case?
Duncan Laidlaw

A Some cases allow drives to be slid in and out, something that makes installation much easier. To do this, the drive must be fitted on special mounting rails as mentioned in the manual. These should be supplied with the case.

Sometimes they are fixed to the bottom of the case or to the inside of the plate that was fixed over the empty drive bay. You will often need to screw the rails onto the drive.
