Thanks John. I have another favor of a technical nature. A DVD is stuck in the R-drive. It wants to open, but something is preventing it-sounds like a Twilight Zone story. Any suggestions?

Two ideas:
(1) there is usually a hole for “emergency open”. You mae need a magnifying glass and an unbent paper clip to insert.
(2) sometimes the CD doesn’t get flat on the “turntable”. I’ve found that inverting it and then back can sometimes free it. Also, a gentle washing machine agitation — 5 or 10 minutes — just put it on the machines when they cycle. :-) It sometimes will let the cd reset in the “tray”.
Just some things that I’ve done.
BTW the disk and the drive are probably toast. When it attempts to force the drawer open, it knocks the “heads” out of line.
Hope this helps,
