Need help with a program to open and close disk drive.

Yeah so I have to write a program that will open the disk drive of a PC and close it after 5 seconds, then open it again after 5 more seconds and I don't have a clue where to begin. Please help. :eek:

Hi,

I think such a program would be defined by the OS. I would guess it easier to write a request to the user to do it. But if you go deeper, like wanting them to have homemade CD's or something, you will need to put in check code and check files on the CD's to make sure that they inserted the proper disk.
