Remove Drive Bay insert??? Optiplex 745 desktop version
My dad recently bought a used Optiplex 745 desktop computer from his work it only came with a 40 gig hard drive so im just trying to put a new drive in there. Just following the instructions from users guide i managed to get the DVD drive out but there is no floppy drive so it has been replaced by a metal insert which i cant figure out how to remove. It seems to be stuck in place and the screws look impossible to get to without taking the whole thing apart. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
*last post was deleted because i wrote screw with ed on the end.
Hi osprey.
Thansk for the reply. yep i followed those instructions to get the DVD out no problem them i got stumped at the next part as their is a metal casing for where the floppy drive bay is. Heres a pic of the area that ive circled in red.

any ideas?
Not sure if you found a solution to this yet, but the blue lever which releases the optical drive, releases that plate. Just pull up hard while simultaneously pulling towards the back of the system on the plate and it should release. Took me awhile to figure it out too.

Hi, Grafology:
See if these instructions help.
Yes, the "*** filter" is a bit sensitive to certain words. Believe it or not, it used to be worse.
