Can anyone show/walk me through where the hard drive for an HP m7300e desktop PC (EK465AV#ABA) is located? Photographs showing hard drive location and replacement details would be appreciated.

Diagnostic Details:

Briefly, due to incremental freezing/slow processing and the like, extensive trouble shooting (HP website, user manual, books, forums...) was conducted to restore proper functionality. Eventually, the system would only boot to Safe Mode. When further diagnostics didn’t yield definitive results, I performed a Destructive Recovery. Since then, Windows XP has ceased operating. The SeaTools DOS CD will not boot. The following message appears when using recovery disks: These PC Recovery discs do Not support this PC. I’ve explored all the advance options known to me via F8/F10.
