So I have this semi old PC that needs a new hard drive. The problem is that being a Dell, it is REALLY hard to remove the old hard drive. The computer is a Dell Optiplex Gtx270, I believe it is a IDE hard drive. There don't appear to be any visible screws so I think it just snaps in there. Here are some pictures. I just need to know if there is a way to remove it using those green things on the side.

Also the white connector labeled [i]P2[/i] is either stuck or is just really hard to get out
Pull both of those green tabs on the sides inwards and the drive should slide out.
Cut the red wire :smug:
Uh, pull it out but with a bit more force?
Just try yanking it side to side (but not up and down) <- the connector
As for the entire drive, try pulling the green... tabs or whatever towards each other and pulling it out
