Remove ToughBook CF-W8 Hard Drive

To remove and replace the W8's hard drive:
  1. Remove the battery.
  2. Take out 6 screws securing the HDD cover. There are 4 screws on the bottom of the laptop(chrome), and two on top (silver). The two screws on top are above the "F7" and "PrtSc/SysRq" button.
  3. Slide the HDD cover off the bottom. There should not be any need to pry it.
  4. Gently slide the HDD out of the cushioned caddy.
  5. Remove cable from HDD. Reverse to install.
