? Shield on new internal Macbook drive question.

[davidinva]

Yesterday I replaced my Macbook (2008) 160GB hard drive with a 320 and didn't put the shield from the old drive on the new one. (Didn't have the torque tool to do that.) Backed up the new drive from my Super Duper backup and it works fine. Do I need to remove the new drive and put the shield on it? Consequence of not doing so? Thanks.

Thanks. Saves me from buying the torque tool.

By the way, for others, using Super Duper made the getting the hard drive ready for use easy. Took about a bit over an hour to initialize the new drive. But everything is on there as it was on the old drive.

Thought about that. Will probably do. Too hot here today (100+) to do much of anything outside of the house.
