I could not find the service manual on HP's Support site, but I found an archived copy on archive.org. The instructions appear on page 89.

Thanks a bunch!!!

I will proceed this way! I was afraid to pull to strongly. Those old IDE drive ain't nearly as smooth as a Sata!

And thank you also for archive.org. I shall explore that site! It's bookmarked!

Gratefully,

You're welcome. Good luck on the hard drive removal!
