Hard Drive Removal
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are replacing a PATA hard drive with a SATA hard drive,
please see “PATA to SATA Hard Drive Conversion”.
Hard Drive Identification:
To determine whether your hard drive is quick-click or non-quick-click, look for a light gray adapter
between the hard drive adapter and the hard drive mounting bracket. See Figure 1. If there is such an
adapter, then you have a quick-click hard drive; if not, then your hard drive is non-quick-click. The PATA
hard drive with a clamp will simply have a clamp as shown in Figure 1. The SATA hard drive is also
shown in Figure 1. The SATA is easily identifable by the lack of a hard drive ribbon cable and adapter.
