              Don't know about compaqs but the laptops I've had only required a few small screws to be removed. The drive pulls right out.

                      This, and I turn them into external drives to use for backups.

                              Yeah, use a screwdriver...

                              They should come out just like all the others.

                              The ONLY laptop that ever gave me ANY resistance in removing the HD was a Panasonic Tough-book. They have those things all kooky crazy in there, with suspension and Faraday cage and all that.

                              Okay, maybe not a Faraday cage, but it was crazy for sure.

                                                  Presumably from the motor spindle.

                                                  Why not remove the hard drive with a 12 gauge slug, though?
