• How can I remove a hard drive from my computer? (not physically)

  Hello.

  I have problems with my internal hard drive.

  It is adding an extra and isn't the one with the operating system. It's pretty mucha disk storage.

  I have to remove it and try to replace it. I hope I don't have to re - install the operating system and I can get my new drive recognized under Windows XP. What should I do? Where can I do this? Which must be uninstalled or changed on XP somewhere?

  What are the steps? I'll replace it today and the need to know the details, because it is a return.

  Thank you.

  No, you don't have nothing to do with Device Manager. Or anything else.

  Once its removed it will disappear. Then once you install the new hard drive, go to disk management, and then format. So my computer can see it

  Only thing to complain, it is if you have been save files to it. Don't worry about this just change the recording folder. Programs have been installed on it tho? There you may as well uninstall them first
