Hard drive removal-replacement

mmoen · 09-14-2007, 09:28 PM

Need to find how to access the hard drive compartment in a presario 2100. I can see the hard drive via removing the battery. Also has a marked area on the front of the case that appears to be the hard drive access but cannot open it.
Thanks, M Moen

Look on the bottom for a removable panel with a cylinder. This is probably the hard disk bay. When you will open it you will see the hard disk in a metal tray which is the caddy. Unscrew the caddy from the laptop and then unscrew the hard disk from the caddy.
