Hello @x0x 

Please be more specific and also include the product number of your Omen.

Press Control/Alt/S for the information menu in windows
Or
Go to the Start menu and scroll to HP Help and Support > HP Support Assistant.
Open the program and click on your computer in the list.
The 7 digit Product Number will be listed in both those places.

This video shows how to remove and replace the HDD in an Omen Obelisk and Omen 25/30L.

They remove the same way.

No, I don't need to take it out or replace it. I need to remove what is holding the HDD, the bottom one, I still need the top one.

HP Recommended

I don't understand the problem then, that's why I asked you to be more specific.

they both remove the same way.

 

Take a picture and post it here so I can see what you're talking about.

I need to take the plate out, the metal plate next to the HDD.

HP Recommended

You talking about the metal cage that the plastic slide fits into?

This?

That is integrated into the case and usually panels like that are riveted in. You would probably have take the front panel off (pry tabs loose) and drill the rivets out to remove it. Unless you got lucky and it has screws.

Is that what you are asking?

Yes, thanks.
