As said above, should be fine.
Make sure that when moving it though, that machine does not get to many knocks and bangs. Harddisks are quite fragile little things.

Make sure you know where everything goes before you unplug it.

No, if you unplug the computer it's thermonuclear thingamabob will overcompensate the lack of hydrokinetic whatsit and will ultimately explode.

if you turn the disk upside down there is a small hole where the screw goes to lock the heads. If you haven't got the original, a 3/4" woodscrew fits instead.
