Hi,
I have installed Windows 7 on my iMac 27 using Bootcamp. It is working satisfactorily
Please advise how do I eject disks from the DVD whilst in Windows?
I could reboot to OS X and eject, but I would like to be able to use the DVD drive whilst in Windows.
I feel sure others will have come accross this issue and hope there will be a solution? I have searched on this forum, apple help and via google but no joy
Many Thanks, Bob.

You can right-click the drive letter, and select eject from the context menu.
Assuming you have a right mouse button, that is...0 -

Doesn't pressing the eject button on your mac keyboard work?
On my Mac keyboard (the version with the separate number pad) it is next to the volume buttons at the top right of the main section of keyboard.0 -

The mac keyboard eject button does not work when in Windows and there is no eject button adjacent to the drive slot on an iMac"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

missile, you're nearly there with Windows on your Mac, but you're not finished yet!
You haven't installed Apple's Windows drivers yet, which will make that eject key on your keyboard work, as well as the F keys, amongst other things.
In Windows, insert your OSX install disc, and you should be able to install the drivers.0 -
OK, many thanks for the advice."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
