Removing CD-ROM

I've disconnected the jumpers, but can't get the drive to budge out. Does it just slide out or am I missing something?

Here are the instructions:

Looks like the drive should slide out the front of the case.

It looks like there is a securing screw, however, what I am trying to do is remove the broken upper CD-ROM to a DVD-ROM (not a burner). The lower drive has my DVD Burner. The screw looks like it's just for the lower burner, I'll have to check again...

Thanks for the help..

It depends on which system you have. Please post that.

Did you remember to remove the front panel of the case? The drive won't slide out otherwise.

Yes, thank you, I removed the front pannel.. and I found the screw. It was hiding just slightly below the lip of the case. I just had to screw it out at an angle.
