Unplug all cables and remove the battery from your laptop. Also remove any PC cards. Flip the computer upside down and set it on a flat surface. To avoid damaging the top of the computer, use a lint free towel as a stabilizer.
Unscrew the hard drive screws and set them aside. Slide the hard drive memory out and place it in an anti-static package. Remove the new drive from its anti-static packaging and carefully slide it into the hard drive bay. Once it is fully inserted, replace the hard drive screws. When the computer reboots, it should recognize the new memory automatically. The entire process takes only a few minutes.
