WIth most toshibas, you either push the drive into the housing, until it clicks and then you can remove it, or else there is a small button on the LEFT side of the drive, to push that to remove it. &nbsp;Before the new versions, you would have to lift the keyboard, and flip a level on the side of the drive to get it out, but they did away with that, because it caused too many keyboard problems. &nbsp;Now you just push the button on the left side of the drive, or else push the whole drive in, until the latch releases and it comes out....

 Hi all:<br />
<br />
The question basically says it all. &nbsp;I need to get a part# from the bottom, in order to order<br />
a replacement unit, and ultimately to swap it out once it arrives.<br />
<br />
It's not at all obvious to me how to remove this drive.<br />

Thanks!
