Removing a Hard Drive from the Hard Drive Bay
Before removing a hard drive, Compaq recommends that you back
up all information on the hard drive.
To remove the hard drive from the hard drive bay:
1. Save your work, exit all applications, and shut down
the computer.
2. Tilt the computer

to access the hard drive bay
release mechanisms.
3. If the hard drive has been secured in the hard drive bay with a
single-bay

security screw or a dual-bay security screw,
remove the screw with the Torx T-10 screwdriver included
with the computer.
4. Slide the hard drive release latch

drive from the recess 4 beneath the hard drive bay. This
releases the hard drive from the hard drive bay.
