After installing a new hard drive, how do you eject a disc from a sloted hard drive?

Hi, 

Thanks for writing to us. 

There is usually an emergency-eject hole or button -- usually on the back of the drive.  

It should help you eject out the disc. 

Regards

Hi, we are awaiting your response

Your suggestion will not work because there is no eject hole in a slotted DVD/CD drive. I managed to get the disc out during the powering down of the laptop.

Be aware that it is not possible to eject a disc during the installation of software on a new hard drive with no Dell software on it when you have to change disc. The only way I was able to install the software and swap disc was to purchase an external DVD/CD drive and connect it to my laptop.

My discovery of this problem has convinced me that I'd be a fool to purchase another Dell computer with a slotted DVD/CD drive.

Hi, nice to hear from you. Glad its working. Have a good one. Any queries do give us a shout.
