    I'm guessing you mean stealthing.

    The easiest way i know of to do it is to recess the drive enough so that you can use double sided sticky tape and stick the drive bay panel onto the CD / DVD tray front plate.

    Also, you will have to make some thing so that you can open the drive. the easiest way to do this is to glue some cardboard onto the drive bay panel in the right position over the switch so that when you CAREFULLY press it it will open the drive.

    Hope this helps... although someone else might have a better method of doing it
