If you can't access the screws securing the hard drive then you need to remove the entire drive cage. Unscrew the drive cage from the chassis and then slide the entire drive cage out. You can find the service guide for your system at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dalex/54635a02.pdf

I removed the power and data cables, and the two screws. The unit is a little loose, but doesn't come out, and there is an attached blue cable that I can't reach to remove. Any other thoughts?
