the following:

I need to screw something to the bottom of a desktop made of 1"
particle board (the upper surface is wood veneer). It will experience
a fair amount of load, so I need the screws to hold securely. If it
were solid wood or plywood I would be confident it would hold, but my
experience is particle board does not hold screws well -- they crumble
out.

So, my question is, how can I put screws in the particle board such
that they will hold securely?
