    I recently bought a Asus EEE PC 1018P - How do you replace the hard drive? I can't seem to find any guides and it isn't easily accessible from the bottom tray.

    You have to take it completely apart, essentially, through the top shell to get at the HDD bay.

    Not for the faint of heart, esp if you've never done this kind of thing with a notebook before.
