| If a hard drive error pops up during start up you might need to replace your hard drive. Hard drive installation is very simple. Remember to unplug and power off your computer before you install your hard drive. |
| If the hard drive makes scratching or whining noises, or if the operating system does not boot due to a disk read error, you may need to replace it. Turn off and unplug your netbook before repairing the netbook. |

| The hard drive contains operating system files and your personal files. If you intend to replace the hard drive, save any personal files you need later onto an alternative media source before completing these steps. You will need to install an operating system on the new hard drive once the new hard drive is installed on the netbook. |
