Dead Laptop - Hard Drive Removal?

Carly B. New member Username: Birdlady Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07	Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 03:38 GMT I have a dead Compaq Presario 2570US. I want to get rid of it but not with a possibility of personal information being on the hard drive. Can anyone give me directions on how to remove the hard drive myself? Many thanks!
