This section provides information and instructions for removing and installing internal drives.

Some of the different drives available for your computer are:

vParallel Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard disk drive

vSerial ATA IDE hard disk drive

vTape drives
