Does anybody know where I can find information showing me how to change out the hard drive in the X220?

Not the SSD, just the stock 320gig drive.

besides the HMM, these might also help:

installation video: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product ... MIGR-71616
removal/installation instructions: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product ... MIGR-71224

these are for the X200 but apply to the X220. the procedure is identical.

Excellent, thanks...Looks very easy to do.

I'll experiment with the new drive I'm going to buy and keep the original OE drive as is in case my experimentation with loading Windows clean without the Lenovo software doesn't work out for some reason.
