Bingo Ray, Thanks for the heads up..that’s the 1st time I’ve run into those
plugs for an HD..I thought those were more to cover holes for a feature on a
different model. I also wasn’t aware they’d come out and more importantly go
back in so easily. Didn’t want to wind up with 2 ‘holes’ along the front of the
laptop if I was wrong.
Thanks again
Bruce

Yeah, those "plugs" are probably covering up some nicely hidden screws that are
the ones giving you some grief.

Ok thanks. I did the google and hp searches. All I found was basic stuff the hp
site shows 2 links to change the DVD. But none for the hd. Google only leads to
the hp site or to links to buy the manual. It's a $50 10 year old or there
abouts laptop. Works great but the hd overheated when I ran SpinRite on it.
Figured I'd replace the drive just ti be safe.
It does have some holes with the rubber plugs on the front. I'll pull those
tomorrow.
I searched for 4000 series also. But those drives are looking different than
this setup.
Thanks for the help

Look for some Drive Screws that may be labeled on the case "H" or "HD" or
something.
Some OLDER ones (compaq) had screws beneath the keyboard.
If there's a removable cover from the HD compartment, check to see if there's
any screws (or screw-sized holes that may have plugs in them) and remove them.
I didn't find any info online...yet. But i'd utilize Google and the HP Site
for any manuals that are out there.
hope that helps.

Anyone tell me how to remove an HDD from a Pavilion laptop? I removed the one
screw showing. But the drive still appears to be locked in by ‘something’?? HP
site is useless. Nowhere on the site can I find the removal steps for this
model. The only has 1 screw showing on the right side of drive.
Model is HP Pavilion ze4427wm.
Thanks
Bruce
