How do you remove the hard drive on a Pavillion?

[Steven Bourne]

I have an HP Pavilion 8566c. I need to replace the hard drive but can't figure out how to take it out. I've taken off the side panel, and it has a button with a diagram telling you to push it down. I do that, and hold it down but the bay that holds the drives will not budge. I have tried everything I can think of. It looks like you have to remove the entire drive bay since you can only remove one side panel and can't get at the screws on the other side.

The HP site for my computer does not have a manual and I have search all over looking for instructions on removing the bays from the case on this site and can't find them. Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone know of any other web sites where I can find technical help since no one here knows?

Thanks.

Steven,

Most of us here only work on larger commercial products and not home PC's. You'll find lots of people who work on pavillions here every day .
