    • Unscrew the two Phillips screws holding the hard drive in place.

    • The hard drive and its carrier should come off together.

    • Unplug the IDE and Molex cables from the hard drive.

    • Be sure to be careful when removing the IDE cable so as to not damage the pins on the hard drive. (Instead of yanking it, pry it off from side to side.)
