Adding a DVD drive to a Deskpro EN
Hi, everyone.
I just bought a Refurbished Compaq Deskpro EN 1.0Ghz machine and I'm wondering how to get the front off so that I can add a DVD drive. The front bezel seems impossible to remove! Please respond ASAP. Much obliged, Raffi. |

Go to this link and download or view in your browser the pertinent chapters from the manuals: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...SeriesId=96266 The link is long. You may have to copy and paste it in several steps into a text file. Get rid of all the line breaks and finally copy and past the link into your browser addressbar. -- Earl F. Parrish |

Depending on the model of DeskPro EN, you may not have to remove the front bezel
at all. First, remove the cover. Then, the assembly that holds the drives raises up on a front hinge. There are small retaining clips to hold the CD-ROM (??) drive in place. Press the clip in, slide the drive backward a quarter inch or so, then raise it up in the slots which hold the mounting screws. Check CD-ROM jumper settings, use the same settings for a DVD drive. Place the mounting screws from the old drive in the corresponding screw holes in the new drive. If you have a DVD burner, be advised that a 1GHz computer may not be fast enough to sustain the burn rate of a DVD... Ben Myers On 30 Dec 2004 18:48:49 -0800, (raffir) wrote: Hi, everyone.
