Important
To replace the hard disk drive
You'll need a small Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
1. Unplug the AC adapter if you're using one, and remove the battery.
2. Turn the unit bottom side up.
3. Use a pointed tool to remove the plugs from the two screw holes, and then remove the
two screws.
4. Gently pull the hard drive out of the computer.
5. Gently slide the new drive into the hard drive compartment. Press firmly to make sure
the connector seats properly.
6. Reinstall the hard drive screws and plugs.
If you are installing a new hard disk drive, you should create a Utility partition on the
drive before loading any software. See "To recover the factory installation of your hard
disk" on page 49.
To install the holder on a new hard disk drive or prepare a new hard disk for use, see
"Replacing the Hard Disk Drive" in the online Reference Guide.
