I'm having a right good moan today aren't I?



Has anybody got any tips for removing a drive from the lower bay in a G5?



It's so tight in there, it seems like once you've fitted two drives there's no going back!

    There is a hole in the metal underneath the hard drive. Put 2 fingers in there and grab the grooves of the drive and push out from there while pulling with your other hand. When you put the drive back in, only use 3 screws. Yes, your fingers and knuckles will hurt after. I have no better way.\
