I have a Sony Vaio PCG F430 computer. I want to install a larger hard drive. How do I get access to the hard drive bay?

To access the hard drive you look at the back of computer and open the case of usually four screws to get to hard drive bay

Remove the drive per the documentation manual that came with computer or check the manufacturers web site for instructions

The one thing the computer did not come with is a manual on how to open the case. I have removed something like 17 screws, but the case will not open. I cannot even tell where the hard drive sits.

hi , without being rude , if you cannot figure out how to get the case off. is it wise for you to do it at all. there is more involved than just opening the box and plugging it in. jumpers , slave and master etc and if it goes wrong maybe the cost of a new hard drive and more. it is relatively simple once you know but finding out how could be a disaster. i dont mean to talk you out of it, but i suggest you have some one with a bit more of an idea. AND READ ALL THE PAPERWORK BEFORE YOU TOUCH ANYTHING. we all start somewhere.
raed read and read.best of luck
