you could eject the disk by holding down the power button till the system stops, restart the system and hold the eject key till the disk pops out but this would result most likely in a message to insert the disc. please try as hard as you can to get speech going. I thought you said that when you start the system, it boots and then stops. if the dvd is in there, it will do that and continue or restart the install. one thing that happens for a while after you start the install by selecting the language is the dvd is checked for errors, this process is accessible to vo. ----- Original Message ----- From: "V.
