If you mean the whole plastic "lunchbox" assembly, it's held down by one large screw you can remove on the underside of the TT.

Thanks derkom, but under that panel there is a cage that holds the drive and I cant for the life of me see how its affixed to the motherboard shielding? or does it just sit under the plastic panel / door? I swear I'm getting dafter the older I get!
Help!

The steel frame in the hard disk caddy isn't connected to anything. It's held in place by welded plastic posts.

The only real "shielding" is the conductive rust paint on the inside of the plastic.

There are early models with metal shielding all over and none of the rust paint.

We really need pictures to know exactly what you mean.

My drive cage is already removed but fitting it back together looks like this. Plus x4 screws to hold it in.
