I've just upgraded my 1215N HDD using this guide. This is very good step by step guide. A WIndows 10 Pro install managed to wreck the pre-installed HDD.
Like Tolidano , I just used a normal flat head screwdriver and a Philips screwdriver to carry out the HDD swap. I'm now in the process of installing Windows 10 Pro on to the new HDD.
Very good guide! I my case i need to remove 2 screws from the battery compartment to remove the keyboard
I also had to remove the two (tiny, but phillips #00) screws from the battery compartment.
I actually went further and removed the motherboard to clean the fan. It wasn't too hard thanks to your guide!
I, too had to remove the battery compartment screws. Other than that, and that I couldn’t get the keyboard cable out, the replacement went flawlessly.
Great stuff, swapped original HD for an SSD. Thank you for this!
Great guide, swapped original HD for an SSD on this eee pc today. Worked like a charm.
Thank you for these instructions.
Work fine!
I just change the HDD with a new SSD of my 1215B laptop.
15 minutes is a little optimistic, 1 hour for newbies.
Thanks
While there is a fairly long list of tools listed here, I was able to complete the entire guide using only a 3/64" flathead mini screwdriver (the kind you get for $0.99). I replaced the stock 500GB 5400RPM drive with the updated 7200RPM slim drive of the same line with no issues. The BIOS picked it up immediately, and I need only reinstall an OS.

Missing step: remove the two screws under the battery, otherwise the keyboard won’t come off
