Removing an Internal 3.5-inch Hard Drive NOTE: 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. 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for Disassembly on page 61). 2. Remove the computer access panel (Computer Access Panel on page 66). 3. Remove the front bezel (Front Bezel on page 67). 4. Disconnect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) from the back of the hard drive. 5. Release the drive by pulling the release tab away from the drive (1) and sliding the drive out of the bay (2). 6.
