    Anyone removed it?

    I'm thinking of taking mine out, I want to check that that isn't giving me my random BSOD's (which started again two days ago, damnit!!!) but also just because...

    I did play around with the "locking" catch on the bottom but couldn't see any way to actually remove the drive.

    Pop it out. It's similar to the spring loaded Expresscard slot cover that tends to fall out easily. I've accidentally popped out my drive before.

    Ahh got it, I wasn't putting enough pressure on the "unlock" button, I hadn't realised that "poped" the drive out.
