The Xbox 360 game console comes with a rectangular hard drive that locks in on the side of the unit and can be replaced if you are having problems with it. The good news is that these hard drives are designed for quick and simple removal, even if you don't know very much about electronics. Because the hard drive is located on the exterior of the unit, there is no need to disassemble the Xbox.

 Instructions

   1.  Power off your Xbox and turn it on its side, so the hard drive is visible. The hard drive is rectangular in shape and has "HDD" written on it.

   2.  To unlock, locate the circular release button at the end of the hard drive. Press this button in to unlock it and simultaneously pull the drive off of the Xbox to remove it.

   3.  To lock, fit the hard drive back over the side of the Xbox and press it down until the button locks it in place.
