Hard Drive Removal for HP ze5730us (5700 series)

Expand Post »

Can anyone help out with how to remove the hard drive for the HP ze5730us laptop computer? I have been unable to remove the front panel, and am afraid to pull any harder for fear of breaking it.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Chuck

The only part you have to remove is in the front of the laptop, where the hard-drive and power lights are. That piece that looks detachable has two rubber stoppers in it. Take out those rubber stoppers and you'll find two small screws underneath. Remove the screws and gently pull out the hard drive.
