Tips for Changing Your Computer’s Hard
Drive Disk
Tip 1. If your hard drive is still working, be sure to make a recovery disk or image by using
backup or recovery software.
Tip 2. Make sure you have the right type of hard drive for your computer. You probably want to
replace the original drive with a similar one to make the process easier. Although the hard
drive's capacity might be much higher on a newer replacement drive, you typically want to
choose the same data/power connector type and same physical form factor as your original
drive.
Tip 3. Hard drives come with either SATA (Serial ATA) or IDE data/power connectors. SATA
usually comes in 3 different versions (SATA, SATA and SATA III) You need to check what your
motherboard supports to make sure you have the correct replacement drives.
Tip 4. Take precautions when touching the electronic components. Improper handling can cause
damage to computer parts. To avoid this, you must ensure you are grounded when operating
inside your computer. One way to do that is to use an anti-static wrist strap during the
exchange. Make sure you terminate the strap by plugging it into an outlet with a ground. If you
don't have one then constantly touch the back of the computer case.
Tip 5. If you are replacing your primary hard drive, you will either need to reinstall your software
or use recovery disks. Installing an operating system like Windows, Mac OS or Linux may be
required if you do not have a recovery image or disk. If you are replacing a secondary drive, you
might need to reload any software that was installed on the drive.
