Replacing the main hard drive

If you would like more hard drive capacity, you can install a second hard drive
or replace your original drive with a higher-capacity drive.
To replace the main hard drive:
1
Follow the instructions under "Preventing static electricity discharge" on
page 151 for important precautions.
2
Shut down your notebook (do not put it in hibernate mode), then
disconnect the power adapter and modem and network cables.
3
Turn the notebook over, then remove the main battery (and second
battery, if installed). For more information, see "Changing batteries" on
page 112 and "Installing a second battery" on page 114.
4
Slide and hold the release latch, then pull the 3.5-inch module straight
out and away from your notebook. The main hard drive kit is located
beneath the 3.5-inch module.
