Very nice guide! Thank you, Jacob! I thought for sure I broke off those HDD cover tabs. They let loose with a mighty CRACK, but to my surprise, they were all intact. I replaced the existing bad HDD with a Toshiba 2TB (MQ03ABB200). Put everything back together, plugged it in and got the start up screen. It sat there for a while, formatting the HDD I assume, and then it went to the guided set up. It works perfectly now. So thankful for this guide!
