Caution
Work the connector off the hard drive evenly, without pulling on the flex cable. Otherwise, you
may bend connector pins on the hard drive or damage the flex cable.

from the old hard drive:
Remove the four screws from the sides of the case.
Remove the shield from the drive and swing out the free end of the hard drive about 90°, then
gently pry off the connector from the hard drive. The OmniBook 3000 may not have a shield.
