Cd/DVD Drive tray not opening
Hey all,

Installed OSX86 this week. All works well, except that my DVDROM tray doesn't want to open up. Not by pushing the button on the device, but also not by clicking the button in OS X. Any ideas? I'm running iPC 10.5.6 upgraded with iDeneb Combo Kit.

Hmm, strange. Which button do you mean in OS X?

FYI, You can't eject a disk using the drive button since real macs don't have one. I have a Apple Keyboard and press the eject button on that.

On non apple keyboards I believe you can press and hold F12 to open the drive. Otherwise there is a unused drive eject app called Eject.menu in /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/

Open up System Profiler and click on Disc Burning to see if your DVD drive is recognised. Something similar happened to me a while back when the chipset kext for my board somehow got screwed up and stopped all devices on the ATA bus from communicating with the system (SATA was fine). A quick dropping in of a clean kext and some permission corrections soon resolved the problem.

Right click on the desktop disk to un mount or unload before pushing the dvd button should do the trick. It will not open while mounted. MAC- Windows diff.

He was referring to a real button on the physical drive.
