    Ridiculous design...

    My Qosmio G35 has a tray-loading drive. The disk wasn't seated properly when I inserted and I think it popped out as I was sliding in the door. The disk went *INSIDE* the laptop somewhere.

    sigh

    What are my options? I tried removing all the screws on the back to see if I could lift out the bottom plastic plating but I couldn't-- there must be other screws I missed or some special tool required. Any thoughts?
