The new drive was recognized without any problems by Windows XP Pro. on my A31 (2652-M3G)!

The front bezel was too high, too wide and I also had to cut away the lower-right corner. Tested in both A31 and T30, the new drive is compliant with the SFF-8552 standard ([http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Image:TS-L532A-mod-T30.jpg Enjoy the photos]) DON'T BUY this drive is unstable!
