Place your thumbnail between the disk drive exterior and your laptop's bottom cover.
If your nail is not long enough to do this, you can use a prying tool instead.

Due to how the disk drive's slot is constructed, the drive must be properly aligned to fit back in. It may take a couple attempts to properly align it.
