    • Unscrew the hidden screws in order to remove the hard drive cover.

    Screws were not removable on my machine. So, I would replace the word “remove” with “loosen” to avoid chance for cross-threading. otherwise, these directions were EXCELLENT.

    One more thing here is that you have to remove four screws that attach the little metal/plastic sleeve to the actual drive, and then slide the old drive out of the sleeve and the new one back in. Thanks for the guide.

I need to replace the hard drive and was wondering how large can the DM4 handle. It is currently 578Gb and it would be great for 1 or 2 TB. Thanks
