How do I replace hard drive in Gateway One Zx6980

Assuming this is the same model I had a year or so ago, after three months of trying to find a replacement, I wound up, unfotunately, getting a whole new computer. Stay away from all-in-one computers! And get a Dell. They're the best I found. My Gateway was 6 weeks out of warranty when the hard drive decided to go sideways. Good luck! Jon Ash

The stock HDD is revealed just by unscrewing the backplate on the bottom of the laptop. Replacing it is as easy as unscrewing 4 (maybe 6) off the caddy and HDD, and reverse to screw in the new SSD

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

Not that I know of. It is intended for a Toshiba, and I don't know if there is any cross compatibility with Gateway computers.

Yes you can most defiantly replace this yourself! All you need is a small Phillips head screwdriver. On the base of your laptop there is a compartment that houses your memory. Just follow your user manual and remove this compartment. The current memory should be stack on top of one another and held in place by 2 metal clasps each. Gently pull the clasps on the top memory apart and the first memory stick will pop out. Do the same for the memory stick under the first one. Then take your new memory, line it up and gently push it down, the clasps will snap shut locking the new memory in. Repeat for the top memory stick, replace the back panel and fire her up! fyi http://www.manualslib.com/manual/232596/Acer-Aspire-7750z.html?page=26#manual

1. Yes, the Hard drives appear to be replaceable--there are doors for them on the back of the drive.2. I do not know--I have not tried this, and the manual does not address this issue.

Yes, you can replace the hard drive with a solid state. You cannot have both. There is only one slot for a hard drive.

I called the Drive Company and gave them my model number. You can find their number on their website.

Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

Yes it will work. On a side note, when I replaced mine I accidently stripped two of the four screws on the metal housing of the hard drive. It's very easy to do, even if your careful. I would recommend having a jewelers screwdriver (Philips) and buy a spare housing for the hard drive just in case. They only cost a couple bucks and it will save you some time if an accident happens.

You can buy a blank hard drive like I did. Then put in the new drive I put in a Seagate 7200 rpm 2 gig SATA drive. If you go on YouTube you can see the 4 clips that you need to move to take the top off and disconnect the old drive install the new drive close the DVR and hook it up power it on and the unit will configure the new drive and you are all done very simple.

I don't know. The hard drive I bought was brand new. You could contact them and ask.

Yes, you must change. In addition you have to change all connected IDE-ATA devices to SATA connection and remove the floppy drive.
