Caution

Before you remove a hard disk drive, make sure you have

backup copies of all your files and programs. You can use
backup software or the backup utility in your operating

system. Refer to the online help files or software

documentation for instructions.

If your system included a Recovery CD-ROM, it contains an
image of your hard drive as it was configured at the factory.
You can use this CD-ROM to restore the original files that
came on the hard drive; you cannot restore any data files

you have created.

steps:

1.

Remove the drive mounting bracket, following the
instructions under “Removing the Drive Mounting
Bracket.” (You can remove the bracket and drives without
