Removing a hard drive
Here's one for the spanner wielders.
After sorting out Windows Games I want to dispose of my old computer which involves removing and destroying the hard drive. I searched the internet but I cannot see my model of Dell.
It a standard PC 100mm. high and 390 mm. wide, designed to lie flat but is OK vertical. A clip on the top releases a top/side plate and the DVD and the central memory cards reader can be slid out on short rails by releasing them with a catch.
Then you come to the hard drive.
Is had a blue plastic surround which looks as if you can just squeeze a couple of tags and it will come out but I cannot work out how.
Do I have to dismantle the whole thing so I can get at it from the other side or is there a simple way of removing it?
The internet has stacks of instructions but none of them cover this model.
I know I could destroy the case getting it out but I am trying to avoid lacerating my fingers.
