Hard Disk Upgrade; Installing A Replacement Hard Disk - Acer TravelMate 720 User Manual

The computer automatically detects and reconfigures the
total memory size.

PhDISK to reallocate the hard disk space necessary for the
hibernation function to work. See "PhDISK" on page 73 for

Hard Disk Upgrade

You can upgrade your hard disk with a higher capacity
drive when you need more storage space. The computer
uses a 12.7mm or 9.5mm 2.5-inch Enhanced-IDE hard
disk.

Installing a Replacement Hard Disk

Follow these steps to install a hard disk:
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the AC adapter (if
connected) and remove the battery pack. Turn the
computer around to access its rear.
2. Locate the hard disk bay. Using a coin, loosen the coin-
screw by turning it counterclockwise.
