I am running Windows 7 on a Packard Bell model X6620UK computer.
I have disk recovery software that need a boot cd if the OS fails.
My problem is: if this ever happened I am unable to use the DVD player till windows installs.
The player does not even have a small hole at the front to open manually.
A boot menu comes up to select the drive to boot from, but I cannot open the player.

I would like to know if there is a way around this.

Thanks
wallie
