Can I take it out and put the DVD drive back easily if I need to?

The caddy and the DVD drive are interchangeable and each is removed and installed the same way. Removal involves taking one screw loose and prying the lever with a flathead screwdriver. Installation involves seating the caddy/drive and tightening the screw.

Yes, it's very easy, it's just one screw and then the unit slides out and you slide the dvd back in.

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.
220022
Yes. I've switched mine back and forth as needed. It's just the matter of a screw and sliding it in. I think I found a youtube video on how to do it to walk me through the first time.

I had to JAM mine in and I don't think there was any hope of getting it out and the DVD player back in... it was a real tight fit.. almost like it wasn't meant to go in.

It uses the same switch to take out the caddy as it does to take out the DVD drive. If it's easy to take out your DVD drive, it will be easy to take the caddy out.

if i understand what you mean the placement of drive and dvd. first take the back off. then take off the front panel it pops off with a couple of tabs inside. you then put in the hd and dvd. put back on the front panel. use screws to lock down the drives, note you only have room for one hd and dvd, then connect drive to motherboard and power. to make the dvd eject open the front flap and adjust the white tab to place in front of eject button test it

There is a button on the far right at the top it looks like an eject button press that and the whole screen will slide down and out . Then you will see the slot where you put the dvds and cds.

I would probably say no. Its been my experience those things aren't removable. But you can always email the manufacturer. I do know that you can swap out the hard drive for one with more space or purchase an external so you cam back up files.

No. I'm sure there is a way of doing it but not without accessing the hard drive directly. However, since the unit has the capability of transferring to a DVD directly from the hard drive why would you consider going that route?

If you grip the swivel disc firmly and pull up from one side it will open easily...no worry about the disc breaking off.

I own this computer and I believe that it does, but you have to remove the dvd drive

The DVD tray pops out of the front. There's only a shallow bin on top along with a small panel that flips up to wrap the cord around. The cord storage isn't of any importance. The power button is on the top front and with just a little space it should be easily accessible. It should work fine on the shelf as you intend. As mentioned earlier, ventilation/airflow could be an issue. You'll need to lay it on its left side to allow airflow as well as to access the DVD tray.

Yes, you can only eject the cd/DVD w a mouse. A lot like ejecting an iPod from an iMac.

Just insert a little flat screwdriver by one side and pull out, don´t make to much force only a gentle pull

I've seen dozens of computers laid on there sides or any which way a business needs it to be to fit in its spot. There should be no issue unless you put the dvd drive upside down.

Yeah, you can. Once you install the software, you should be able to put a dvd in and be ready to go!

It is an external USB case to house your cd/dvd drive when you take it out of your laptop. Removing the cd/dvd drive from your laptop allows you to install additional hard drives into the space in the laptop. This housing allows you to continue using the cd/dvd drive after removal.

No, it isn't hard to take out the dvd player. The pieces that hold the dvd player in place move in and out when you push the right spots. It is very easy to use.

You can put a Blue Ray drive in there. I have a DVD drive in mine which is the same size and form factor that of a Blue Ray drive. The parts up front easily pull out and easily snap back in to position.

The safest way would be to eject with windows, turn off the power on the unit and pull the hard drive out. Yes you can just pull out the drive but that can cause errors. Yes I have just pulled out a disk without doing anything and had no problems but I would not recommend doing this.
