This section provides the procedure on replacing or upgrading your
storage drives. You will need a Torx or Flathead screwdriver to
remove or replace a drive.
CAUTION: Make sure you backup your personal files on the hard drive
to an external storage device, such as a CD, before removing the hard
drive. Failure to do so will result in data loss. After replacing the hard
drive, you will need to run the Compaq Restore Plus! CD to load the
Compaq factory installed files.
