Are you trying to slide out though front? (You may need to push hard, because of its grounding contacts.)

I recommend you to consult with your Owners Manual.
(If you don?t have it on hand, you can check on line;

Removing a CD/DVD Drive

1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 105.
2 Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on
page 107).
3 Remove the bezel (see "Removing the Bezel" on page 136).
4 Disconnect the CD/DVD drive data cable from the system board connector.
5 Disconnect the power cable and the CD/DVD drive data cable from the
back of the drive.
6 Remove the two screws securing the CD/DVD drive.
7 Slide the CD/DVD drive out through the front of the computer.
8 If you are not replacing the drive, replace the drive panel insert
(see "Replacing the Drive Panel Insert" on page 150).
9 Replace the drive panel (see "Drives" on page 138).
10 Replace the bezel (see "Replacing the Bezel" on page 137).
11 Replace the computer cover (see "Replacing the Computer Cover" on
