I would invest in a DVD/CD USB drive for installation. Be sure to have all the drivers available on a flashdrive.

This system comes with a Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB hard drive. Model number ST 1000DM003 that should allow you to retrieve all the relevant information for this drive. FYI - I switched it out with a Crucial M500 240GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive. The response times are night and day difference. It takes less than 10 seconds to cold boot the computer to Windows 8 login with the solid state drive.

Iam sorry, I do not have the slightest idea what hard drive it uses. Best bet is to call customer service

You need to install a hard drive, the memory, and then drivers on the machine and then you will need to install an operating system - I highly suggest getting an external CD/DVD Drive.

you have to go into admin tools, computer management, storage, disk management. this is where you setup the hard drive.

You have to install a sata hard drive so that depends what format and the size of the hard drive.

I really do not remember purchasing the hard drive connected wit this question. The answer needs a question first what operating systems are you trying to use on the same computer. The ability also might be limited by your computer itself. There are many answers to your question if you just search your question on the Internet. On YouTube you can even get many short instructional videos to help you. Those people are much more in the know then me. Good luck.

This particular model came with no hard drive and I ended up purchasing a Western Digital 500 gigabyte hard drive and install it myself - very easy to do. Itended up being cheaper to do it this way than to purchase it with the hard drive already installed.

There isn't a hard drive. It's a SDD. You ca check Crucial.com, they have a scan tool that will evaluate your machine and recommend upgrades.

Only if you have SATA connections available to work with...otherwise find an IDE drive.

That's exactly what I'm doing and why I bought this; however I am certainly no hardware guru. It takes a while for it to show upon explorer (4-5 secs), windows needs to read it, etc. I would go to the internet and find a forum that has a topic for hardware, giving them the model, intent, etc. Let me know what you find out. I am interested. My final goal it to set up a RAID, still need one more hard drive.

with any hard drive, it depends on what you're going to be using it on, or with what OS. Usually you will need to format it.

Best bet is crucial.com they will scan your computer and tell you what will work in your system. Found that Amazon had best price. The 2gb kit worked great for me.

I believe a Western Digital drive would work fine. I bought 2 of them for myself.
