oh and to clarify I mean the diskdrives
they seem to be locked in without any screws or anything.

what case that you are pulling the drives from?

most of the cases nowadays don?t require screws. there should be a hinge or something that you can push to slide the drives in and out.

if someone could find a catalog of older (2 or 3 years old) coolermaster cases I'd be able to identify it.

oops didnt see the topic summary...

for coolermaster cases, there is a lock that you have to push it up, then slide the drive rail back to unlock the drives.

hope this helps ;)

Hrm my case doesnt look like that at all. It has some case aroudn the drives with some circle holes in it. I think I see two releases one on each side but its almost impossible to push both in, there must be another way.

ok, this must be like the antec cases with drive rails mounted on both side of the drive. if that's the case, you need to squeeze the two spring hinges inward toward the drive and PULL the drive out.

a picture would help a lot here ;)
