Often the front bezel (plastic face plate) is removed to expose a screw or two holding a bay that slides out along rails stamped into the metal sides/bottom. First check for access to these screws on the inside of case. Typically drive and bay holding it, come out together then drive can be removed from bay. |

May be near dead anyway, throw it at the pavement a couple times and hit the circuit board with a hammer... more elaborate destruction may be fun but unlikely to be necessary. |

I whacked the circuit board and the exposed drive with a hammer and the
curved end of a crowbar. Looks now to be of no interest to anyone. "kony" wrote in message ...
