Hello Wifler, To remove the CD Drive. At the bottom edge of the keyboard, (near Alt and Ctrl) are two very small spring loaded lugs. Gently push them back towards the fromt edge of the PC and at the same time gently raise the front edge of the keyboard. (You can do one side then the other). Once the keyboard is raised you will see two screws that retain the CD Drive. Remove them and then with care the drive should slide forward.
