Replacing your laptop parts begins with a plan of attack

There are plenty of Web sites that can help you find the right replacement parts for your laptop, as well as any other hardware you may need to make sure the new drive fits properly.

How simple it is to swap in the new drive, however, can depend on the laptop's design and where the drive is located inside the machine. Laptops from some manufacturers have the disk drive in an easy-to-reach bay on the side of the machine that lets you pop out the drive with the touch of a button. On other models, you may need to unscrew the bottom of the computer or temporarily lift up the keyboard to get to the CD drive. Check your computer's manual or manufacturer's Web site for instructions on how to locate the drive or replace it.
