Hard drive screw fasteners
I'm trying to remove the hard drive from my old Dell Dimension L600cx, but can't unfasten the two screws holding the drive to the front of the case, inside the bezel. The screws are round headed with a small hole in the center. They won't accept any size Phillips screwdriver, any size Allen wrench, or one small Torx driver I have. I can't see any shoulders inside the hole. Many other screws holding parts to the chassis are similar. Any ideas on how to remove these screws?

There is a catch holding the hard drive into the carrier, swing this up to release the hard drive and swing the hard drive out of the carrier.
See HERE

The L Series desktop, I just checked and removed the hard drive from, only has one philllips head screw securing the hard drive to the chassis.

Eureka! finally found two black Phillips/hex head screws at ouside of drive back, behind bezel - overlooked before. The things I thought were the holding screws must be rivets, sort of, used I guess in chassis assembly. Drive out, job done. Thanks again, Bev!
