If you're renting the 9242 from Bell then the answer is a definitely no. Legally, Bell still owns the 9242.
If you own the 9242 then technically the answer is yes; however; there are a few issues you have to consider. If the hard drive is a user replaceable part then the answer is yes. If the 9242 is a self contained unit then removing the hard drive will void the warranty. A driveless 9242 may also cease to function.
I say check the manual to be sure; however; my real advice is to buy hard drive at retail instead of getting it from the 9242. Drives are cheap nowadays. The hassle of removing a drive from the 9242 may not be worth the effort.
