hi

i have imac 21.5 8.1 (early 2009)

my kid inserted a metal in the cd-room drive and since than the drive make "shooting" sounds. i been thinking about replacing this cd-room drive with SSD but the my hardware doesn't support it. so all i can do is to dis-attach the AC powerof the cd-drive,

is there a way to disable it grammatically?

if not, i should psychically remove it, no problem to do it but i would like to know if the system can bootup without the cd-room drive?
