you only need to remove one screw...
the drive slides in under your right hand (when you're typing)
just remove the large screw with the ridges around the head and slide
out the tray.

You'll have to put the tray onto the new drive- pay attention to the
orientation of of the metal plate and the plastic cover.

good luck
