As I understand it, all you should have to do is remove the one screw holding the ODD in place, which should be the upper left screw from the RAM slots. It also holds the back cover down, you can kinda tell it's different because you can't see the gold-colored screw holder under it, just black.
Almost all consumer notebooks that have an ODD have it removable like this - with a single screw.
