Hi,

 

I would like to replace the internal 3.5" HDD in my Pavilion 790 desktop. To do that, I need to remove the isolation screws on the pre-installed HDD and put them on my own HDD. Can someone please tell me which screwdriver is needed to do that? I have attached some pics of the screws which were posted earlier by another member.

 

Thanks!

That is a Torqx screw.

 

@Dku 

It is a T15 Torqx bit or T15 screwdriver.

 

You could also use a straight slot screwdriver that has a tip wide and thin enough to easily remove the screw.
