    (Specific model in my sig)

    I got an SSD for my laptop. Transferred all big, important files over to the second non OS HDD. Problem is, I can get the second hard drive out, but the primary one (with the OS) won't budge. There's a ribbon cable (that's what it looks like) in front of it, but even when i disconnected that it only moved about half a centimeter and no farther. Is there a screw I'm missing that wasn't on the second slot? The SSD is recognized by the BIOS in the second slot but I'd really like to move it to the primary so that I can keep my files and not have 2 OS disks in at once.. does this make sense? Thanks guys.
