Remove Hard Drive from Performa 630 CD?

I found this on the net:

It looks like once you take off the front plate of the computer, the hard drive will slide out on it's sled.

The difficult part is getting the front bezel off - there are two tabs under the lip of the bezel and they do take a considerable amount of force to get them to release. Firm pressure with a flat-bladed screwdriver usually does the trick.

Here's the LINK that the other poster tried to put in. The images in the PDF file are kinda crappy, but you'll get th idea.

Shane,

to get a URL to post as a link, you need to use some simple HTML coding. It will look like this, just replace the open and close brackets with < and >:

It's also a good idea to remove the rear plastic I/O panel (with the two protruding release tabs). That way, you can stand the computer on its end, without breaking them off. With the computer in an upright position, you'll be able to see the release tabs under the overhanging front bezel. Pry upward on each tab a little at a time, and as you alternate from side to side, the cover will come free. The hard drive is situated on the right, behind a metal cover that's secured with one phillips machine screw. You need to disconnect the data ribbon cable and power cable, then pull up on the drive sled's release tab. The drive can then be slid straight out the front. If you're donating the computer for someone's future use, remove the hard drive from the sled and slide the sled back into the chassis. Replace the metal drive cover and be sure to align the top interlocking edge of the front bezel, before you tilt it down to snap-lock into place.
