3) remove the connector from the back of the hard drive - because you need to install it on the replacement hard drive.
4) replace the hard drive and reuse the connector.
5) screw the sardine can back together.
6)
reinstall the new hard drive in the notebook
Option steps:
step zero (comes before step 1) Ghost your existing hard drive. Where you save the Ghost image to is up to you -(ie: external USB drive)
Create a bootable Ghost floppy, USB stick , or CD for doing the restore - and make sure that it works.
7) Use your Ghost floppy, USB stick , CD to restore your hard drive's OS and everything else.
If you don't do steps 0 & 7 then you'll need to replace step 0 with - make a backup copy of all you critical files. Replace step 7 with - insert your OS install CD and reinstall the operating system, all your applications, and restore your critical files from the backup that you made.
