I was installing an Oracle upgrade on my Solaris 8 box......it got through disk 1 fine, then prompted me to insert disk 2. Only problem was I couldn't get disk 1 out! I tried selecting Eject from the filemanager, and typing "eject" at a command prompt, and all I kept getting was "drive is in use". I finally used a paperclip to get the drive open, but then the OS crashed. Now I have to start again, but I'm afraid the same thing will happen.....does anyone know how this can be avoided? Please copy your response via email! Thanks!
