My existing one has no way to remove the mounting screws/bolts/thingamajigs - the insides of the screw, or allen head, or whatever the hell it ~was~ is perfectly round - absolutely nothing in there to grab at all. This means there's no way to remove the screws. Is there any place I can get them, or a drive with them already attached, to replace the 160gb one already in my system?

Any place that sells 2.5" SATA drives for the 2009 MBP with the mounting screws?

For future reference the screws you were dealing with are Torx T6 or T8. I can't remember off hand.
They're supposed to be a T6. Mine were a Tround
I'm going to make millions selling the Tround-driver.
tis called a drill!
A drill can't install and remove trounds, you will need my troundriver!
