Thanks for your involvement so far.
From the exploded view I have of my lappie there is an item which fits
inside the tray called the cradle and it is into this that the HDD fits. The
exploded view is so small and poorly defined as to be almost useless - no
doubt you've seen them yourself.
There is no HDD access door on my machine, only the end of the tray/ cradle
assembly is visible when the battery is removed and, alas, no screw. The two
access panels that are on the base give entry to the RAM and to what
appears to be the wireless module.
Will arrange photo(s) and send.

Is that after removing the screw? Is the screw under the keyboard? I
can't see anything in the way of a screw in what I think should be the
right area under the base of the machine. Is the screw visible without
dismantling any components?

the drive should pull out by the tab.

Sorry but I can't see any screws in the area at all. I have taken off
the memory cover and removed the memory in case the screw was hidden in
there but no joy.
Any other offers?

I'm faced with the task specified above.
From a previous thread it seems that the hard drive is situated in a
drawer behind the battery, this seems to be so in my case, though
the model I have is different to the previous thread.
The drawer has a clear plastic tag attached to it which seems to be
inviting a tug, the tug was duly applied but nothing seems to be
moving. Are there any screws which need removing or latches which
need to be released prior to removal, or am I merely not tugging
hard enough. Perhaps one of the previous correspondents, or someone
else who has experienced this task would be kind enough to advise
me.
Thanks in advance for any useful advice.
Kind Regards
Mertyl
