How to remove the Hard drive from the HP Mini 1000 or the HP Mini Verizon 1154nr

here is a short tutorial on how to get to the hard drive on the HP Mini 1000

Hp has a great design on these little NetBook's I just wish they could have shoe horned a 2.5" inch SATA drive in these instead of the 1.8" inch zif (zero insertion force) hard drive that they put in. These drives are more expensive to get a hold of and the capacities are smaller as well as the rotational speeds are limited to 4200rpm. This is good to keep things small, light, and a lower power consumption. Just a pain in the %^$ to upgrade.

This is actually not that difficult so here we go....
