• Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

  Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
  I discovered the net without success.

  A diagram with being usefully etc.

  kind regards J

  Hello

  I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

  When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

  Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

  But if you still have some questions then request.

• Can I remove photos from photos on the hard drive of my macbook, but keep them in iCloud?

  I just used icloud to "backup" 80 GB of photos that are on the hard drive of my macbook. I'm now able to remove them from my macbook without losing them on iCloud?

  All advice appreciated!

  Welcome to the Apple community.

  With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

  Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

• HP personal media drive hp0000: remove the hard drive from the external area.

  My external hard drive does not work and I would like to remove the drive from the external hard drive case.  How to open the short cut through the plastic box?  I have other cases of emjpty for the hard drive.

  Access to the internal hard drive: methods and variants

  (1) open the support HP Pocket Drive is as simple as peel back label hardened plastic on the end of usb connection and to extract both little phillip screws hidden. Once the removed screws the drive carrier will slide on the front of the case and the hard drive can be easily replaced.

Then gently push all inside the well hard drive that forward into the aluminum housing. Careful not to push the reader through the case and on the floor.

• Cannot physically remove the hard drive from the Pavilion dv4-1430us

  The disk hard origianal in this Pavilion dv4-1430us makes mechanical noises, so I will try to replace it with a new one.  I checked the owner's manual supplied with the dv4-1430us, and it gives these instructions (here condensed): 1) remove the power cord and disconnect the battery, 2) remove the hd plastic cover, 3) remove three screws of hard drive now the hd casing in place and 4) pull hard hd tab to the left then go out.

  The problems are: A) there is no hard drive to draw labels, and B) after you remove the three screws, can't do the hd if I push on it to move to the right or remove it from the left.  I don't want to use tools like screwdriver large flat blade or bars of little Crow because it seems like that would probably break something.  Does anyone know how to remove the hard drive of this particular model without breaking something?

  HaggisCat,

  Thanks for a very detailed and quick response.  It turns out the indications that I read in the manual, your statements and mine were all in line to exert a force on the hard drive in the direction indicated by the red arrow on your image.  (A picture is worth a thousand words and your supplied photo clarity that my summary of instructional text has not.)  I decided to take a picture of the entire hard drive in my dv4-1430us (see below) to show that there is no close tab Mylar pull, as there is on the photo you condition.   (The same gray metal tab that appears in your photo, but no mylar tab).

  

  Apparently my dv4-1430us had some differences at its Assembly of HD compared to yours.  As you can see, the structural elements that surround the HD are very similar to those of your photo, but there is no narrow mylar like in your photo tag.  There is a dark mylar or similar film plastic on top of my HD, and there is a triangle of silver color at the bottom right of this film that points in the same direction as your red arrow.  I tried lifting up the end of this film, mylar and pulling that direction (to the right in this picture), but a part of it (in the upper right corner of this photo) began to tear.  As the film seems to only be glued on the top edge of the caddy HD (also called frame or cage in some articles), I doubted that the show was strong enough to eliminate the stress of a closed winching.  A comrade who has put a video on YouTube showing this procedure also indicated that he had torn this layer of film when he first attempted to remove the HD.  Because I assume that the dark film has a purpose (static protection?)  I gave up shooting at the right edge of the film.

  However the consistency of the instructions in the manual, the instructions on this YouTube video and instructions in your answer on the direction in which the Assembly needed to move HD gave me the courage to put a force pushing the HD in the direction of your red arrow.  To do this, I placed the tip of a flat blade screwdriver large (blade about 5/16 "wide) at the points indicated at the ends of the two yellow arrows in my picture.  In these positions, the blade of screwdriver pushed against the HD box and not the hard drive itself.  Each of these two places, I gave him some very closed but controlled scrimmages, and HD finally moved in the direction of your red arrow as it is supposed to.  I then lifted all of the HD and replaced the HD without incident.

  The action drag the new HD in place was much easier that it was removing the original HD for the first time.  It was perhaps because of some hard rubber padding that has been placed on each side of the original HD assembly that makes for a very tight fit.

  I hope that this description is useful for others who do not have used mylar tab in their computers laptops dv4 and those whose HD assemblies are very tight in.  Thanks again for your quick response that gave me enough comfort to move forward.

• If I remove the hard drive from my Mac book will find my Mac still works

  One of my buddies and ME are supporting it because im trying to say that if you remove the hard drive of a Macbook, find my Mac no longer works, even if you get a new hard drive and connect it to the Internet. He said, that it only stops working if it is not connected to the internet, and I know it's true, but I want to know if my theory is correct,

  If you remove the HD there is nothing to identify your Mac then FindMyMac.

  To use FindMyMac the Mac must be connected to the internet and FindMyMac must be enabled in system preferences > iCloud. This requires Mac be signed in iCloud.

• If I reinstall the original software, which removes the existing files from my hard drive?

  I accidentally deleted programs that my computer needs access to the Internet.  I tried the system restore, but nothing.  Can I re - install the original software without compromising documents on the hard drive?

  Hi Jill,

  Yes, reinstall the programs would not remove the existing files on your hard drive. Your old files remain unchanged
