This is just a little trip through pulling apart a HDD. Have a look inside, and score a few goodies!

Step 1: Tools

1. Good screw driver set 2. A HDD

Step 2: Remove the Screws

Find the funny looking screw bit in your kit hook it up and remove the screws in the top casing. I'm using a T8 screw bit Don't forget the hidden one under the paper/plastic coating

Step 3: Taking Off the Lid

Now just go ahead and rip off the top. It's a little tough, I tried with my fingers but ended up putting a flat head screw driver in it and prying it open

Step 4: Remove the Magnets

Now, just get that flat head screwdriver under the magnet and rip it out. Now before you can rip the other magnet out there are a couple of things you have to do. 1. Remove more T8 screws 2. Remove the swing arm

Step 5: Removing the Disk

Did you say more T8 screws... Yup Remove the three screws in the top of the spindle. I found the spindle moving so shoving some pliers in to grip made it easier Tip the HDD upside down and shake it till the disk falls out. There one shiny disk
