Installing New DVD writer in G4 PowerPC

[.jpg]

I'm trying to figure out how to remove my current CD writer in my G4 PowerPC so that I can install my new DVD writer. I removed two screws from the thing holding the drive into place - the one that's sort of on the G4 casing, and the one that's connected to the power supply I guess it is. I then tried removing the drive but it won't budge from it's position. Are there more screws to remove? I checked my Mac manual and the Mac support site but couldn't find anything.

Help would be appreciated

You missed the screw on the front left side of the drive bay. The PDF above will help.

Thanks, got it installed. If anyone finds this thread in a search or something, know that the installation guide posted above doesn't mention 2 screws necessary for removnig the drive, one above the drive and one below the drive, totalling 4 screws needing to be removed.
