HP 8570 C Medalion hard disk removal

posted by wes11 on Mar 25, 2008


I can't figure how to get the hard disk our of the case of this computer. I have opened up both sides of the case and the hard disk is in the cage with the CD players and floppy etc. The hard disk has a screw or screws on the far side that hold it in the cage and there is no hole on that side for remove the screws. I assume that the whole cage comes out, but don;t know how to get it lose. I tried removing the front, but it seemed like I was going to break it if is has a screw somewhere holding it. I just want to change out the hard disk. Hope this is clearer.

Melnavz answered, but I had stated the problem so poorly before that there was not enough information given for an answer. Hope this works. I found a HP Medalion manual but if didn't have any info on how to remove the hard disk from the case.

The side panel of the case should be removable to gain access to the screws. I have also seen versions that the card cage itself is on a hinge, and swings out of the case (with the removal of a few screws) that then gives access to the drive screws.
