How is everyone opening and closing their disk drive when on windows?

[BeyondMountains]

I know we can goto my computer click eject disk and then close it manually.

Is there anyway to do this? Is there a way to route the disk open/close button on the kb to work?

lets try this again

I don't know how to get the eject button to work in Windows. I assume you are using Bootcamp to boot natively into Windows, which I don't use anymore... there isn't a Bootcamp driver to enable this key in Windows? If you are using Parallels or Fusion you can disconnect the DVD drive (Fusion has a small icon of a disc in the lower right of the window) which will place it back on the OSX desktop and then the eject button will work.

I create shortcut icons for all of my Windows drives and put them down the right side of the screen like OSX does. Then I can just right-click and eject from there. It is faster than going to My Computer but probably not as fast as having a key to do it.

It does not matter whether the Windows partition is created with the BootCamp assistant or not.
Just install the BootCamp drivers from your OS X DVD and you're good to go.
Eject works just as well as brightness, volume and the audio controls, even on the newest Windows version.
