How do you remove the harddrive from this machine? Do you have to take the green set of clips out? I took every screw out but something is holding it.

I can't help you with this problem. I have a computer tech come in a couple times a year to do PM and he takes care of anything inside the case.

Strange. When it came in, I found the drive as being alone and empty. I partitionned it in three separate parts for work purposes, but it's supposed to be here! You should contact MSI!

Yes. I have done this several times. The hdd fits snugly though, and it is quite difficult to get in and out. I used a screwdriver, but a flatbladed scaper of some sort might be better.

More information please: OS? Steps you have taken (I.e. Have you unplugged the drive and restarted the computer, etc.) also, was the drive bring accessed when improperly ejected?

If the hard drive is clicking, that means the disk that spins at high speed is alittle warped and scraping against the side of the case. I would advice backing up all data onto a external hard drive and contact Lenovo customer support to get a replacement hard drive, the unit has a standard 1 year factory warranty on hardware

I would recommend removing the old one. Though it's never happened to me, I've heard stories of extra weight/thickness causing problems with the disc drive.

Thank you for contacting us. The hard drive from the item you are inquiring about can be removed from the rear panel.

Tona Plue, We believe what you are describing are tool-free mounting clips for the drives. To make certain that drives are adequately secured for shipping, we do use screws when installing them, instead of the mounting clips. We include them in the hardware packet you received, so that if you wish to switch to them, you may.

No, but taking it apart is fairly simple. It is a bunch of screws, but it's just a matter of unscrewing them and pulling the back off. That provides access to RAM, hard drive, wireless card, msata slot, and most everything else.

sorta, with mine, it disappeared completely, and was nearly impossible to get out, the adapter came with tape on it that apparently was there to help you pull the device out if you needed to take it out. i would recommend the nifty one that costs twice as much if you plan on taking the drive out often, i still use this drive everyday but i never take it out and have locked the drive so i cant accidentally eject it

There is a small door on the side of the console that pops open. If you don't already have an internal hard drive it will be empty and this one just drops right in.

It comes with 4 plastic drive clips. They snap onto the drive, then you slide it into the chassis and it clips in. You squeeze the clips to slide it back out. One thing to note, on the first try (while you are trying to be careful not to break anything) it is easy to stop short of actually connecting the drive. This is because the clips have a little resistance going by the plastic frame before they actually clip into the metal drive chassis. Once you figure this out, is easy to tell when clipped in or not. Very easy to use.

Haven't had that, but after 3 months Lenovo says my hard drive went out and has to be replaced. I lost everything on it and it has to be sent in for repairs. I am never buying a windows machine again. My MacBook has been going strong for 4 years.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

No, there's no trick. It must be a manufacturing defect. I've bought these before and never had a problem. The last one I got had the same problem you have. So what I did was filed down the plastic at the right and left ends of the end cap (the end opposite the USB connections) to make more room for the hard drive. I did this a little at a time so as not to go too far. That worked for me.
