Remove the two phillips #00 screws.

Then remove the board. This will reveal that it is a standard PATA drive.

Congrats, the drive is free! You can use any PATA-tray loading drive in the iMac G3 which means you can install a CDRW to burn CDs in OS9 or X(if using OSX,install that DVD writer) but, of course only original drives will match the great look of the iMac).
