Trying to install Win 7 on my mbp. Got to the point where it said to remove the intall disc and reboot but I can't get the disc to eject. Anyone know what to do.

Thanks

Hold down the mouse button when rebooting, right after you hear the chime.

Finally got it out. Thanks for the help.

Now, should a disc eject by using the eject button while in Windows? I can put them in and install programs but have to reboot into SL to get the disc back.

If you've correctly installed all the Boot Camp drivers from your Snow Leopard DVD, the "eject" button on your keyboard should work the same way as it does in OS X. Alternately, you can always eject a disk from Win 7 by going to "My Computer", right click on the DVD drive and select eject.

Regards.

After installing the drivers from the SL disc the resolution improved and the sound is working but the eject button isn't. Next time I'll try "My Computer". I knew there was another way just didn't know where it was.

Make sure you're holding the eject button down long enough.
