never done a ps2 with the sliding drawer i'm afraid but I imagine its the same as stereos with a sliding drawer basically its a pain to do as the drive unit itself is normally on its own carriage within the casing. The only real advice I can give is get the screwdrivers out and take your time and be methodical while you open up the casing and carriage. generally the carrige has a kind of plate which lifts up and down to hold the disc in place and predictably the it obscures the lens. So all you need to do is work out how to get at it,which may invole quite a bit of disassembly.TIP watch out for pieces that have tiny bits that are spring loaded with also tiny springs! if they gone you've had it...

Hope it helps, maybe someone else has some better advice...
