If you have installed a PATA hard drive that is not automatically recognized by the
computer, refer to the white paper "Implementation of Serial ATA on HP Business
Desktop's for operating system instructions. The white paper is located at
www.hp.com/support.
If you replaced the primary hard drive, insert the Restore Plus! CD to restore the
operating system, software drivers, and any software applications that were
preinstalled on the computer. Follow the instructions in the guide included with the
Restore Plus! CD. When the restore process has completed, reinstall any personal
files that you backed up before replacing the hard drive.
Installing a Drive into the 3.5-inch Drive Bay
Depending on the computer configuration, the 3.5-inch drive bay on the left side of
the computer may be configured with a diskette drive or it may be an empty drive
bay. The type of bezel covering the drive bay will vary depending on the original
computer configuration.
If the computer was not configured with the optional diskette drive, you can install a
3.5-inch device, such as a diskette drive or hard drive, into the drive bay at any time.
The type of bezel you need will depend on the type of device you plan to install. If
you are installing a diskette drive, you must install a diskette drive bezel (PN 316002-
001). If you are installing a hard drive, you must install a bezel blank (PN 316006-
001). If you are installing a 3.5-inch device other than a diskette drive or hard drive,
you must install the 3.5-inch device bezel (PN 316008-001). Contact an authorized
HP reseller or service provider to order the appropriate bezel when reconfiguring the
computer.
To install a secondary PATA hard drive, you must use a dual-headed cable (part
number 108950-051).
