I'm installing a 250GB UltraATA/100 drive in the rear bay of my Dual 1ghz MDD. But it seems that I'm stuck at step one. I can't seem to remove the drive carrier from the chasis. I've pulled the plastic tab, etc. but the damn thing just won't budge. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to be pulling out the plastic tab further, or at the same time as I'm trying to pull out the drive carrier? I hear one "snap" when I pull the plastic tab away from the computer--should I be pulling it further? Also, is there any particular way to get leverage to pull out the drive?

I don't want to force it and end up breaking it, but if anyone could provide me with some more detailed instructions on it (I'm sure it's something simple/stupid that I'm missing), or perhaps point me to a page on the web, I would be most appreciative.
