Hard disk keys

A while back, my desktop's 60G hard disk died. I didn't have an immediate replacement at the time; the only disk that I could put in the machine was a 13G one with data. Yesterday, however, an 80G hard disk that I bought on eBay arrived, so I shut down my desktop and prepared to put the new disk in. The machine has a removeable hard disk bay, so I put the disk in a casing and wanted to slide it in the bay. To activate it then, I need to use a key to unlock and then re-lock the bay.

I appear to have lost the fucking key.

I think I'll try to break the hardware lock mechanism and to short-circuit the cables that tell whether the bay is locked tomorrow. That lock doesn't serve any useful real-world purpose anyway.
