Removing and Replacing the Primary 3.5-inch Internal SATA Hard Drive NOTE: The system does not support Parallel ATA (PATA) hard drives. Before you remove the old hard drive, be sure to back up the data from the old hard drive so that you can transfer the data to the new hard drive. Also, if you are replacing the primary hard drive, make sure you have created a Recovery Disc Set to restore the operating system, software drivers, and any software applications that were preinstalled on the computer. If you do not have this CD set, select Start > HP Backup and Recovery and create it now. The preinstalled 3.5-inch hard drive is located under the power supply. To remove and replace the hard drive: 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for Disassembly on page 108). 2. Remove the access panel (Computer Access Panel on page 114). 3. Rotate the drive cage for external drives to its upright position. Drives 141
