Removing a Hard Disk Drive

The hard disk drive of your PC is attached to your HP Personal Media Drive bay. The hard disk drive is preloaded with the system recovery partition of your PC. If you remove this hard disk drive, store it in an antistatic bag that is properly sealed.

CAUTION: Back up your personal files on the hard disk drive to an external storage device, such as a CD, before removing the hard disk drive. Failure to do so will result in data loss. After replacing the hard disk drive, you need to run System Recovery using the recovery discs to load the factory- installed files. Please read “System Recovery” in your printed documentation for details about the recovery procedure.

You can replace the (primary) hard disk drive attached to the drive bay.

The hard disk drive is either a Serial ATA (advanced technology attachment) drive that uses a narrow data cable, or a Parallel ATA drive that uses a wide data cable.
