Like any component of the system, drives can become outdated, become unusable, become unnecessary, or access to them by third-party users can become undesirable. The disk drive is removed in exactly the same way as any other component of the system.
Instructions
Step 1
In some cases, removing the software to disconnect the drive may be sufficient for you. Go to the Control Panel, from there - to the Device Manager, select the desired device, right-click on it and select "disable".
Step 2
You will need a little more time and a Phillips screwdriver to physically disconnect the drive.
Step 3
First, turn off the power to the computer and remove the cover of the system unit.
Step 4
Visually localize your drive.
Step 5
Disconnect the power and transmission cables from the drive. At the same time, try not to disconnect the loops of other devices.
Step 6
Unscrew the retaining screws (or open the latches) and remove the drive from the system unit.
