I need to replace a hard drive on a 8660c. I cant find how to get the
old drive out. Could you explain how you got the old one out for me.
Thanks.

It is really easy. Visit the following link by "Click" or "Copy/Paste"

Just enter " Pavilion 8660c " and then navigate to " Setup and install " and

from there choose " Product upgrades ". There are several choices, even video.


Oddly enough, I have the same model and 3 days ago on boot up I recieved a

message stating "SMART Predicted Failure backup harddrive and replace etc."

After a little Google research I found a replacement for mine available, it is

a "Quantum Fireball ltc10". I am not sure I will replace it with the same type

it is a little slow, small (GB's) & dated.


Out of sheer luck, I recently purchased a removable USB 160GB Hard drive at

RadioShack for $200.00 less $30.00 on a rebate with Accucom Data. It works well

with my new USB 2.0 card. I backed up my the entire contents of my C drive to

it all 14GB and took a deep breath.


Hope this helps you!
