Mark,

    "eject" works.
But, I was wondering why the HW button behaves differently in Linux and NT4 (dual boot machine).

I am experimenting a strange issue. No problem in inserting a CD into 
its bay for reading it.
When I need to remove it (to insert another one) and I press the HW 
eject button, the CD tray gets out and IMMEDIATELY gets in again, making 
it a real adventure to extract the CD itself (fighting with the tray....)

Anybody knows "why" ?

Thanks a lot indeed. Best regards

1/ Just guessing here, make sure that you have changed out of your CD
dir  e.g. /mnt/cdrom to say /

2/ Have you ever tried the "eject" command    e.g. "eject /dev/hdd" 
depending where your CD is.  Plus I hate the eject button on the CD-roms
I don't how many times I have pressed that button twice..    I just
about never use the umount command after I have discovered the eject
command.

Cheers
Mark
