You may have two screws on each side of the drive. Disconnect the power cable, and the data cable. You will want to keep track of which way they go in, so you can put them in the new drive the same way. The drive should slide out the front of the computer,and the new one will slide in from the front. Blessings, Tom

Hello all, I am having a bit of a brain fade. I wish to pull out my CD drive and put in a DVD one. I have put in a CD drive before but I have forgotten to get the old one out. I know to disconnect the cables, there is one screw in the side of the CD drive that I can remove. Is there any thing else holding that drive in? If I pull it out does it come out the front or do I slide the drive towards the rear of the case? I think it is an IDE drive. Thanks for any help here. Max.
