*Exactly* what sort of drive do you have: IDE (PATA), SATA, USB, something 
else?

Is this a desktop or laptop?

If a laptop, is the drive removable -- many *laptop* optical drives are 
removable and can be replaced with either an additional hard drive or a second 
battery or even a floppy drive?  Often these removable work themselves 
loose...
