    I just purchased a new samsung dvd burner....to replace the cdr/dvd combo drive in my aspire 3000.
    I cannot slide out the old optical drive.
    I removed the screw under the drive on bottom of case, but the drive will not budge......i put a fair amount of pressure on it but it does not slide out.
    I do not want to break anything.

    can anyone tell me what may be the problem?
    thank you
