[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 528412, member: 60724"] Jeff described the problem to be that the drive door doesn't fully open, right? That has nothing to do with software. There is a gear mechanism and pressure/stop sensors on the door. The "Eject" done through software simply sends a signal to the drive to eject. From there, mechanical gears and electronics take place to eject the drive door completely. If it stops somewhere in between closed and open it is a mechanical or electronic problem, not a software or operating system problem. As I said before, probably a gunked up, worn out, or misalligned gear...or possibly a foreign material in the mechanism (my daughter fed 23 cents into our floppy drive). Replace it. For kicks and giggles crack it open and check out the gears if you are really ambitious. TJR [/QUOTE]
