    Hey,

    Just take of the back, and there is 1 screw that holds the DVD drive in place.

    It is located to the right of the ram, you can see it on this picture:

    Get a caddy from ebay. I got a "fenvi" from there, like this one: New Laptop 12.7mm SATA TO SATA 2ND HDD HARD DRIVE caddy | eBay

    It's not perfectly aligned but it will fit with a bit of "jiggling" about ;)
