Knightmare fitting Hard Drive... Please help A1200

[kiniki]

Hi again!

I have looked at loads of pictures of A1200's with hard drives..

I have made sure the cable has the red stripe facing down the machine... ie towards the front. Plugged into the connector cables fine....

However when I try to attach the hard drive (label facing up) the cable won't fit as it has a little bump of plastic at the top... meaning it needs to be the other way round..

This then means that I have to bend the cable so it turns over... however now the keyboard wont fit over because the cable it poking out...

Am I doing this right?

Are you sure the cable should be twisted as you describe?  Have you tried powering on the machine in either position?

This photo shows the cable red stripe up, and straight across.

I didn't try it for fear of blowing the thing up!
