Os,

that is a GREAT write up!!  Just in time too.  I'm wanting to take my 160gb drive out of my Passport and put it in a Creative mp3 player.  Then I'll have not only a portable hard drive, but a decent mp3 player as well.   My question for you is where do you start the disassembly?  Where do make the initial screwdriver insertion to pry this thing open?  Any chance you could show me w/ a pic?  Thanks again for a great write up!
