Using the Hard Drive 35
Removing the Hard Drive
To prevent loss of data and damage to the disk,
do not remove the hard drive while the
computer’s power is on and do not drop or jar
the hard drive.
To remove the hard drive from the computer:
1.
If you are installing a new hard drive, backup the
application and data files on the old hard drive before
removing it from the computer.
In Windows 95, you can use the Microsoft Create System
Disks Utility to back up application files and the
Microsoft Backup utility to back up data files.
The restore CD-ROM that shipped with your computer
contains copies of most of the applications that came with
the computer.
Turn the computer’s power off.
2.
Close the LCD panel, and turn the computer over so that
the bottom of the unit faces up.
3.
Remove the screw that holds the hard drive in place
(Figure 16).
