How do I remove the Hard disk from computer? I have an old iMac, model M5521 circa 2000. I need to wipe the disk clean to DOD specs before donating it.

I have an iMac Model M5521, circa 2000, which I must wipe the hard drive clean to DOD specs before donating it.
I have the DOD software on another non-apple computer. I need to remove the hard disk drive from the iMac to do this.
How do I get to the hard drive? I find only two screws on the back of the monitor/case and they do not help. What am I missing?
Thanks

It's not too hard but you have to take off the bottom cover of the case. These instructions shoudl show what yo uneed to do.

I pulled the original 10G hard drive from our M5521 and replaced it with a larger one. The whole thing took under 45 minutes, including the 15 minutes it took me to recover a screw that fell into the works.

How to upgrade the hard disk of the nomad jukebox

I read the FAQ of nomad on nomadness.net, I wanna know how to upgrade the hard disk of old nomad jukebox with a bigger one?
I also read a artical on tom's hardware about this,
http://www7.tomshardware.com/mobile/20000/mp3-3.html
but he gave a link
http://www.kuren.org/jukebox
that is not available. He mentioned that it need to clone the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk to the new one, but I have not the old hard disk( I bought a second hand nomad jukebox without the original hard disk). How should I do?
Does someone have the image file of the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk?
Thank you!

That was the old method before Creative published their Bootcode Flasher software.
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...ticle&artid=24
All files mentioned are available somewhere on Nomadness. Also check out the sticky thread in their JB section of the forum as it lists what hard dri'ves will work in a JB and which ones won't. I hope you haven't already bought your upgrade hard dri've.
I used the above method without any problems and now have a 20GB JB.

How to read the hard disk serial number using java this is urgent

Please do let me know any knows how to read the hard disk unique number provided by manufactruer using java library

I don't know; I think the fate of the free worldrests upon the answer.
Well, as long as the non-free world stays unharmed,

How to make the hard disk visible in a new admin account?

I created a new admin account, in order (hopefully) to solve some problems that I've been having with SPSS21 for Mac. But when I log on as a new admin account, my hard disk no longer appears on the desktop. It (and all the folders and files in it) are still accessible by clicking on the hard disk in the path bar in a folder, but it's annoying not to have the icon on the hard disk. I don't know why the icon for the hard disk does not appear on the desktop. Does anyone know why, and how to make it appear? Thanks.

Oh, my god! I'm so embarrassed that I couldn't figure this out myself, after being a devoted Mac user for three decades! It's so obvious! Thank you so much!

I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory?

I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Product name: HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory? All the HP website shows is how to remove memory covers. Unfortunately, with newer models like mine, the whole back cover needs to be removed. I have tried unsuccessfully to remove it but so far all that I have succeeded in doing is to scratch my cover. So can anyone help???

Hi,
The procedure is detailed starting on Page 67 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Note: I don't work for HP, but looking at the degree of disassembly required, I would say the procedure may well void the conditions of warranty.

How to remove a hard disk file on storage

Hello,
In my process, I would like to remove an additional disk.
To achieve that task, I have found "Remove VM device". It is a VMware box that I can use to remove any device (including Hard disks) and I have not found another box to do that.
But file on storage is not deleted, only the logical disk on the VM is removed.
So I was wondering if there could be another way to remove also the file on the storage?
Is a “dedicated” remove Hard disk vmware box exists in Tidal versions greater to 2.3.1?
thank you.
Best regards,
Nicolas

There is no specific "Remove Hard Disk" activity in 2.3.1 or the upcoming 2.3.4.
Have you tried the PowerCLI command "Remove-HardDisk"? If that works for you, in 2.3.1 you can use a Windows PowerShell activity to run PowerCLI and execute a simple script that runs this command against the VM. Unfortunately, this requires connecting to vCenter directly (not through the adapter) and you will need to supply credentials.
Or, better, use the "Execute PowerCLI Script" activity in the upcoming 2.3.4 VMware Adapter.. where you can run PowerCLI activities that use your existing VMware vCenter Server target's connection and don't need supply credentials separately.

Then you write a wrapper in JNI to call your C/C++ code.

Partitioning The Hard Disk

I wanted to how to partition the hard disk so I can have three partitions, i.e One for the Mac OS X 10.6 and applications, and one for the User files i.e all documents, downloads, music etc, and one for the bootcamp partition, I know how to partition, i wanted to how to move the user directory permanently into the second partition, this way if I ever have to reinstall the OS I dont have to back up my data, all the time.
Actually I also would like suggestions on whether this is a Good or Bad Idea, Performance wise?, and also whether this is possible?

Do you mean uninstalling software? If so see the following:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

How to wipe the hard drive on a screen-dead Powerbook G3?

The display on my 1998 G3 Wallstreet Powerbook recently went black and the computer made a noise that I understand is called The Chimes of Death, although the hard drive still makes whirring noises. My local and trustworthy Apple repair service assures me the Powerbook wouldn't be worth repairing even if they could get the parts for such an old machine.
Is there a way to wipe the hard drive and make my data irretrievable before disposing of the computer?
If there's no way to wipe the hard drive, I'd like to find out: (1) How to remove the hard drive. (2) The best way to destroy the hard drive or at least make it forever unreadable (can my shredder eat it?). (3) The correct way to dispose of a Powerbook that has heard the Chimes of Death. (From what the repair service says, I assume nobody would want it as a donation.)

Turtlewiz,
I would not be so quick to pronounce it dead:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14438
I would try the suggestions in the above article. Will it boot to a CD?
As far as wiping the drive, it is easy as long as you can see a display so you can follow the steps necessary. You just open Drive Setup in the Utilities Folder on the CD > select 'zero all data' in the Initialization Options; do it a few times if concerned.
Removing the HD is relatively easy: Just lift off the keyboard and the heat sink, then remove the HD.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/3.0.0.html
Hit the HD a few times with a hammer and nobody will bother with it...it has a glass platter.
Nothing to offer on the recycling except Good Will may still take it as "non-working" since there are Mac users looking for such bargains.

BootDevice Not Found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk

Now, I heard that I need to replace the hard disk with a new one, which is fine with me. But when I asked one of the data recovery agency to retrieve my data from the failed hard disk, they told me that they cant do it, as the hard disk has been encrypted.
Has anyone know how to remove the encryption or which agency does the removal of encryption on the hard disk, sothat i can get the important data that I have ??
The media is SSD and the harddisk model no. is SSDSA2BW160G3H from Intel.
Help me out please.
