Add Note Edit Step 35  ¶ 

  • Pull the plastic hard drive connector straight away from the hard drive.

  • This is a bit tricky. Try rocking the connector gently while pulling with even pressure. If you bend the pins, do your best to straighten them, using the hard drive connector as a guide.

  • Hard drive remains.

  • If you are installing a new hard drive, we have an OS X install guide to get you up and running.
