    Hi,
    I have an Acer Travelmate 2302wlmi and I want to remove the DVD-RW
    drive from it. I want to make it an external usb drive.

    I have another acer aspire and I only need to remove one screw to remove the drive,
    for this one I tried to remvove all the screws but I could not remove it.
