Remove Hard Drive from an FE21M

[JKehelly]

Can anyone tell me how to get the harddrive out of a FE21M? Due to a recent problem which has killed the machine I need to get the drive out ASAP to see if any of the data can be recovered from the drive.

I've tried removing the cover from the back of the laptop and took out the 4 screws (2 internal + 2 external which also held cover section) holding the mount in place but it seems to still be held in by something. I'm afraid I'll break anything if I try and force it but I cant see any way to get it out.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi JKehelly and welcome to Club Vaio.

Thanks Blencogo thats exactly what I was looking for! :smileygrin:

I've got the drive out and into an external case and it appears to be fine so I'm backing it all up now

Thanks again!
