You could try removing the case.

That is exceedingly vague... no make or model, no pictures... how are we supposed to know what type of key it is? I've never even seen a DVD drive that's key-locked. You sure you're not talking about a hard drive sled?

Hey there. If it's a hard disk caddy, then it might be a cheap and nasty tubular lock (not that all tubular locks are cheap and nasty - just these ones).

Pretty much any key that will fit it will open it. The keys were used on floppy disk holders, and as the key board locks on AT format computers. Failing that, it is very easy to open without the key.

The lock normally also operates a switch to power down the hard disk.

 

Then again, it could be something more secure.

I also haven't heard of a lockable DVD drive.

I assume the case has a lockable cover over the drives... that's what I've typically seen anyways.
