installing a new hard drive on an imac 350

[xaqintosh]

How does one install a new hard drive in a 350imac (slot loading)? Will a 60gig ATA IBM 7200RPM hard drive work? Thanks.

You can download a service manual from this site;

Apple manuals

The 60Gb drive will work fine.

By the way, what is the general opinion on installing a hard drive in an imac, should I do it myself or have a qualified technician do it for me (if there is anyone in the Worcester area of MA, I'd be glad to let them do it)

Do it yourself and save the money. It's not very hard, unless you're all thumbs

are you sure, I heard it required taking apart the entire iMac and putting it back together.

Have you downloaded the service manual and taken a look to see what's involved.
