You mean take its guts out like disassemble and reassemble a car engine. I never got one work this way before. I bought new one instead because they are very cheap these days. I can help you if you can rephrase your question in other way. Good luck.

Sorry, about the way that was worded. What I should have said was, what is the proper way to take a Hard drive from a CPU and put it back in. Not actually taking the hard drive itself apart.

If you mean to actually open a hard drive the answer is. In a cleanroom by a trained technician that has access to all internal parts and specifications.

Answer #2 is right!
That is the only way to do it if you want it to work again.

I dont understand your question the CPU is much smaller then the hard drive so its impossible for the hard drive to be in the CPU so you cant disassemble a hard drive from a CPU.

Hi – Well, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
1) put hd into another system – power off, disconnect all cables, take case off, remove power cable and ide cable from drive, remove screws that hold hd to case, take out hd (push rewardtill free of bay. Pretty much reverse process on new system.
2) move data on existing hd to new hd – there are many solutions to this. I use Drive Image. There is also a product Ghost, never used that. For this, install whatever software you will be using on the existing hd. Put new hd into an empty bay, connect power cable, ide cable (depending on what you have you may need to jumper as slave/master, see hd install book). Copy old hd to new hd. Put the ide cable from the old drive inthe new drive (change jumper for master/slave if needed). Do not connect the ide cable on the old disk. Boot, if all goes well, your done, connect/format/remove the old hd. If not, post another question. Drive Image will let you resize partitions when you do the copy. It’s about $65 or so retail as I remember.
If you are trying to do something other than above, repost/ammend to indicate exactly what it is you are trying to achieve. lo

Don’t forget to properly ground yourself or you could damage the hard drive with static.
