how do I remove the hdd?

Go to solution Solved by Mattrixx,

I want to remove my 3'5 hdd from the drive caddy thing in my 760t, but I cant seem to get it out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLOt8h8-kNY Just push in on the sides on the front and pull after you disconnect the SATA and power.

 

Unless it's stuck, in which case, well, disregard meh, and hire a team of engineers to dismantle it and re-design the case. 

Then how did you get it in there in the first place?

If someone else built it for you, you gotta pull the sled + HDD out from the case, get the cables off, and unscrew the screws holding it in place

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

But the point is that there's a shitload of room in the 760T to work in.....

If it's not coming out when you pull the tabs together, then it's probably not in right. 
You're just going to have to be strong but gentle.

Built it myself, no screws necessary

Yeah, just do the inverse of what you did when you installed the drive
