This section provides instructions on how to replace the hard disk drive.
Important
When you receive a new hard disk drive, you also receive a set of Product
Recovery discs. The set of Product Recovery disccs will enable you to restore the
contents of the hard disk to the same state as when your computer was
originally shipped from the factory. For more information on recovering
factory-installed software, refer to "Recovering software" in your User Guide.
