This step is deceptively easy. Plug the drive connector into the CF card, but plug it in the right way. If you look at all the pictures, you'll note that when we pulled the connector off the microdrive, we were looking at the back of the drive. Compare the channels in the sides of the microdrive and the CF card to get them aligned in the same direction, then make sure the CF card is facing the same direction as the microdrive was when you disconnected it. It's probably the same -- the back of the CF card is what you'll be looking at. But don't take chances.

Once you've reconnected the drive connector, you should be able to snap the CF card back into the space where the microdrive came from. The CF card might be a little loose, as it is a bit thinner than a microdrive. That's OK.
