Re: FYI: Lite-On iHAP422 CD/DVD drive won't fit in MDD.
Just to clarify: By door, my original post meant what a later poster more accurately called the bezel on the front of the tray. I was saying that after the drive was installed, the bezel on the front of the tray would not move through the provided hole in the MDD faceplate. Yes, the drive as a whole must be installed from behind, which I did. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

I was able to remove the front bezel off the Smurf tower and install a DVD-ROM into my Blue White G3 without removing the drive's front bezel, if that's good for anything... :) Optical drive in question was a Samsung.
