Dell Vostro 1500 Hard Drive Replacement
[fa:p:id=2418704649,j=l,s=m,l=p]
My buddy Garrett ordered a 250GB after-market hard drive for his Dell Vostro 1500, and he asked me to replace it. Most hard drive replacements for notebooks are straightforward, and the replacement for the Vostro 1500 is no exception. Here’s what I did.
- Backed up data
- Turn off power, remove battery.
- Flip it over and look to the bottom right. Remove the 4 screws with a small Phillips screw driver.
- Pull out hard drive slot. Remove the screws attaching the slot, fix new hard drive in old hard drive’s place.
- Put screws back in, plug back in battery.
- Install OS and restore data from backup.
It really doesn’t get any easier than this, kudos to Dell for making it easily serviceable.

Thank you for some simple instructions. My Vostro LCD is bad and Dell said to remove the hard drive before sending the unit in for repair bu they didn’t say how to do that. Really appreciate your website
