Can't get screws out of Network Adapter so I can use a WD HD..

Hi all, I am trying to mod my Network adapter to fit a Western Digital Hard Drive and when I get to this step.... (got this from here - PS2 Hard Drive Compatibility Chart)

"After removing the two screws on the IDE connector board, you can move the IDE connector as far as possible to the right until it touches the metal flip. You have to lift the connector plate somewhat for it rest on the plastic stem.

Do the same for the molex connector, but on the left side there isn't much room to move it and you don't have to move it over the plastic stem. Don't remove any screws on the molex connector board."

My screws are not phillips!

The screws holding the IDE connector board and the molex connector are some kind of star pattern. I tried every star tool I have and I can't find one that will work. Does anyone know what I need to get to remove these screws?

Sony must have changed them so people won't modify the network adapter! What a bunch of A Holes!!!

If anyone can tell me what type of screw this is that will be great!

Thanks for the help!

You probably need a torx driver for those screws.

Probaby a 4,5 or 6 torx driver.. They aren't expensive.

Did it work out? Anything I should know before doing it to mine? The inside of mine looks exactly like yours, but the one in the tutorial is slightly different.
