Replace the Hard Disk Drive
This section shows how to replace the existing hard disk drive (HDD) in the
computer. It contains procedures to:
•
back up HDD data.
•
remove the HDD.
•
install the HDD.
•
install new operating system (OS) and restore backup data.
Back Up the Hard Disk Drive
Because you will replace the hard disk drive (HDD), you will need to install the
operating system (OS) on your new drive. For a default OS installation, use the
rebuild CD that shipped with your VersaView computer. This will not include
programs and data that have been added to the system.
TIP
For easiest installation, use a screwdriver with magnetic tip.
IMPORTANT
Program data must be backed up independently before you remove the old
HDD. After installing the new HDD and OS, restore your backup data and
reinstall any application programs you previously had on the old HDD.
