In this case the hard drive is mounted in a frame. Look for mounting screws that locks this frame to the computer case. When you remove this frame you can access the screws holding the hard drive.

I OWN A DELL OPTIPLEX GX110 THAT WAS MADE IN 2000 I REMOVED THE HARD DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WOULD WORK ON A NOTHER BUT THE HOOK UPS WHERE DIFFERENT IT WAS NEVER HOOKED UP TO ANOTHER I WENT TO HOOK IT UP AND IT...

Make sure you hooked it to the same ribbon cable it was b4 you unhooked, check to make sure the power and ribbon cables are pushed in all the way on the hard drive and cd/dvd rom's, Check to see if the ribbon cable got pulled out from the main board side, Also try a different power cable there should one or two that are not being used with black caps on then.

DELL Optiplex GX110 freezing

Check the settings of the internal setups. This is using the BIOS itself and hitting a particular key before anything happens. On some machines it is F1 or the DEL key. In the basic setup there are settings for the boot order and floppy drives and HD type. Make sure these are set correctely.

ALSO on one of mine I have to use a formatting/partitioning program supplied by the HD manufacturer (in this case Maxtor) to pre-prepare the drive beofre trying to install WIndows.

"plug and play configuarataion error"

The BIOS was unable to configure bus-resource. There may be an interrupt conflict which can't be avoided. Dell suggests that you remove some of your non-essential cards and see if it goes away. In one case this problem was due to a defective motherboard. I also heard that some try unplugging things like your speakers, mouse, keyboard...ect.. and plug them back in.
