    Hello needless to say I'm a complete novice
    I was wondering is there anyway to eject a disk in a similar way to windows right click then select eject from the list.

    Also is there burning software included on the A110 if not are there any recommendations?

    So I need a way of soft ejecting a disk from the drive.

    Many thanks
    Allan.

    ???

    what drive are you talking about?? the AAO does not come with an optical drive.
    And I dont see you ejecting your hard drive /SSD anytime soon..?!?
    Same for the burning software. There is no drive. Why would they bundle a burning software?

    Does running the following in a terminal eject the drive?

    Code:
    eject
    Cheers.
