I just installed Windows XP Pro through Parallels. What a great program by the way. Here is my problem. When in Windows the Superdrive won't open. I have to log out of Windows to open it. Then I can insert a Windows CD and reopen windows and have access to it. Does anyone know how to open the drive through Windows :confused:

In Windows Explorer right click the drive and select Eject.

Is it to late to do this since it's after Windows is installed? I'm afraid if I try I might screw something up unless someone like you tells me it's ok to try. Alway been a Windows guy but trying real hard to be an :apple: guy :) It's just that I have so much money tied up in Windows software that I have to run windows. :mad:

The drivers were made for Boot Camp'D Windows, but they'll work fine in Parallels.
