Locating Components Inside the PC

Your PC has several drives that you can replace or upgrade. See the preceding topic, “Locating Components Inside the PC,“ for drive type and location.

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.

Select models have a second hard disk drive.

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. See the user documentation that came with your PC for details about the recovery procedure.

You can add an optical drive into an empty lower optical drive bay.

IMPORTANT: Before adding a new optical drive, make sure that it is compatible with the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system. Also, make sure you have the correct software and drivers for the optical drive to work with the operating system.
