Q: How do I change the right modular drive on the Gateway M675 notebook?

A: Gateway® M675 Right Bay

Note: If you want to install a second hard drive in the right bay, you need the right hard drive tray.

  1. If you are removing an optical drive, floppy disk drive, or a memory card reader, verify that the module is empty.

  2. On the taskbar, click the remove hardware icon, select the drive you are removing, and then click Stop. You can also just turn off the computer (do not place it in Standby or Hibernate mode).

    Note: If the remove hardware icon does not appear on the taskbar, click the show hidden icons button.

  3. Close the LCD panel. If necessary, disconnect the computer from the optional port replicator and turn the computer over.

  4. Slide and hold the bay module latch. The module may move out slightly.
