Type of Tool Needed to Remove Screw

[Margo1]

Hi. I want to remove the hard drive in my computer tower which is attached by two screws. I tried different tools to remove the screws, but I definitely don't have the proper one. Can someone tell me the tool that I need to remove these two screws so I don't waste money buying one or more that don't work?

I provided the best photo I could take of one of the screws.

Thanks!

Hi:

Your picture is very blurry, but most HP desktop PC's use anti-vibration Torx screws that secure the 3.5" hard drive, if that is the size drive you are trying to remove.

The size of the Torx driver you need for screws like those is a T-15.

Do yourself a favor and buy a set of various sizes.

Thank you very much! I took a couple of pictures of the screw but just couldn't get it right. I will look into your information.
