Configuring and Expanding Your Computer Replacing a Hard Disk Drive 1. Remove all six screws from the holder and drive case, then lift the drive out of the holder. 2. Notice that the hard drive has a pin connector attachment at one end. Carefully remove this connector from the end of the drive. Work alternately at each end so that the connector slides off evenly without bending the connector pins. 3.
