Can you take the disk off easily? not the sand paper but the disk itself. I want to change out the disk for a 12in size

There is not enough clearance for a 12 in disk without major mechanical modifications. I would suggest buying a 12 in disk on a bench motor instead. JM

First of all change your username, I don't care how uber your shmekel is. Second, get a 2.5" to 3.5" converter (to mount in the regular hard drive slots and not the floor).Here is one I have bought previously:SilverStone Technology 3.5-Inch to 2 X 2.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive HDD / SSD Bay Converter, Silver (SDP08)Other options:2.5" To 3.5" Bay SSD HDD Notebook Hard Disk Drive Metal Black Mounting Bracket Adapter Tray Kit2.5-inch SSD/Hard Drive to 3.5-inch Bay Plastic Tray Mount Adapter KitKingwin 2.5 Inch to 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Kit First of all change your username, I don't care how uber your shmekel is.

As long as you can lift one corner off, just run your finger slowly between the cover and the laptop and it will pop off, you will think you're going to break it but I have done it many times and never broken it, the key is patience because you want a nice tight fit to keep the dust out...good luck and go slowly, maybe find some one with petite fingers to get it started ?

No it can't. IT is attached to the base and can not be removed. The power input, all of the ports and DVD drive is on the base.

Glen, you need to go measure the thickness of your disk break. It takes five minutes. Good luck.

Yes... And, this is easily accessible, all you have to do is unscrew one screw at the bottom of your laptop and, vola, every component that you can change is there, including the 2 full size hard disk bays.

Good question. I had never thought of doing that. So I took this plastic sleeve and one of the booklets that came with one of my CD'S and it fits right inside. With plenty of room. That's a good idea. I even learned something. Hope this helps you.

To fix my previous answer; you should be able to. 2 out of the 3 I have I can remove and replace. On one I could not get the slip of paper to come out.

Yeh; un-finalizing an RW disk can be done by Formatting it. I'm not sure if there's a way to un-finalize them without formatting.I had a DVD recorder once, and different menus were displayed depending on whether Rs vs. RWs were inserted, having to do with formatting, finalizing, etc.Cheers.

battery is not meant to be replaced, so that usually means there is going to be a process in doing so (removing entire back panel and such). I suggest taking it to repair shop.. or look for a tut online. The tutorial may not be for this specific model, but they have videos for similar models that show you how to gain access to the insides(for ssd, battery change, memory, etc.)

Yes the reflector disk can be removed and it would be possible to replace it with a translucent disk, just make sure the new disk has holes to put the rods through to hold it

The 14 inch disk does not fit in the Model DLC-DH Disk Holder even though it is advertised to do so. Home e-mail is photojoe777@aol.com if you need more detail.

I would not recommend doing that. Having owned two of these I can say that these "wanky" units do not respond well to any modifications. All the software is embedded in the unit/on a chip. Stick with Lenovo/Iomega's specs for the hard drives with regards to disk size and rpm. That is what I would do based on my experience.

yes you just have to remove it to change or take out the cd. i use it in my minivans dvd slot

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.

I don't know. It stopped working on my PC, so I uninstalled it. When I tried to remove the disk from its holder in the case, it was so hard to remove that I cracked it in the center about half inch. I tried to reload it into my PC several times, but nothing ever happened. However, I would think that the disk could be downloaded to as many computers as you wished. Francine

Rose, I don't think you can buy those 750 MB disks any longer; I think they went out when the drive was discontinued. Sorry!
