Can anyone walk me through physical removal of the hard drive from this all-in-one? Need to put a bigger capacity drive in.
Thanks in advance

It's been awhile since I screwed with one of those things, but seems to me you take out some fairly obviously "large" screws out the back, and the whole "bottom" slides out the back, as I remember.
I figured it out, so it can't be that tough.
Then again, you might try here:

I got that part, but all that does is unplug the motherboard and lets it slide out the back. The hard drive is up mounted separately up front and under the CD drive. I got the faceplate off okay to expose those, but can't figure out where to go from there. Doesn't seem to be a tray and you can't access the drive screws
Also, any idea where I can get the right drivers for the CD drive - don't know what it is but suspect it's the original because this machine used to belong the County offices where I live so I'm sure they didn't crack it open - ever!
Thanks!

This article shows several methods for removing the drives. Looks pretty straight forward.

And this one talks about installing the CD drive. See the bottom of the page/article.
Is it a new CD drive or would the machine already contain the drivers for the CD?
