Sheesh are you retarded. ALWAYS counter-clockwise to unscrew ANYTHING, and clockwise to tighten. EVERYTHING...and as if you wouldn't be able to figure that out in 2 secs anyway

Have you ever done it because you certainly don't know what you're talking about? The blue screw has to come out initially to remove the hard drive, but to replace it there are four screws you need to take out of the hard drive caseing before it will slide out.

Lefty loosen (anti-clockwise) and make sure you apply plenty of downwards force before you start turning or you'll ruin the screw and your chances of ever getting it out otherwise.

um just my 2 cents but left hand threaded bolts nuts and plumbing do turn up, one common example is dual wheel axle,s on trucks.
