I am installing Toshiba mk134 3 1/2 inch hard drives
in two older 7300's. My problem: the metallic shield
from the 5 1/4 inch hd just isn't compatible
with the Toshiba's. I installed one hd over the 
insulating paper on the bottom plate of the shield,
but the 5 1/4 adapters for the Toshiba are the wrong shape
for the top shield, and the power connection is in a
VERY bad place (i.e. unreachable) if I try to keep the
upper shield on.

Suggestions?
