Opening Superdrive in Windows

[surflordca]

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

In Windows Explorer right click the drive and select Eject.

Actually, if you inserted the Leopard install Disc 1 at the end of the Windows installation and installed all the Windows drivers, it makes the Eject button on the keyboard work for Windows too.

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 guy It's just that I have so much money tied up in Windows software that I have to run windows.

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