Hi, guys... I recently bought a 150GB Raptor to use as my system drive, and I want to place it in drive bay 1. I opened up the case, and the drives in bays 2 and 3 come out with little effort. However, the drive in bay 1 (which is the only drive that came with the computer) is locked tight. I've pulled the latch on the back all the way, so the drives aren't locked down, but it won't come out. I was pulling so hard, I could see the metal sled slightly bending from the abuse. Is there an additional lock for the first drive bay? What could possibly be wrong? Thanks!

Sorry... It's a Mac Pro, and I finally forced the drive out. Everything's working perfectly now. Thanks!
