Please help, Removing Hard Drive from Optiplex GX1.
Ok i have noticed that i have an old system that contains a 40gb hard drive, so i thought since the system is not in use i should take the had drive out and use it as a slave drive inm my current system, but i can't seem to figure out how to remove the hard drive, i have posted pictures of how the hard drive is secured.
The hard drive
This pic shows the two green things that i have to push in, in order to remove the hard drive, i can push them in and notic it moving up.
This is the problem, there is this green clip kind of thing that is stopping me from removing the hard drive, how can i do this.
Thanks. Any help appreciated

You have a GX1 SFF system.
To remove this you need to remove the tray above the hard drive first.
Then you can remove the Hard drive. Its not 2 Green Rails Its a green box that the drive is fastened to with screws.
