Sounds a little drastic to re-install Windows and all applications
when the Eject icon is missing. I would have used the Eject button
or perhaps a straightened paper clip.
I'm not sure which icon you actually refer to. I usually eject a DVD
by right-clicking the DVD-item in "My Computer", then left-clicking
"Eject". If you drag this item to the Desktop, using your right mouse
button, then you can create a shortcut to your DVD drive that offers
the same facility. There are also a number of downloadable "eject"
programs that would respond to a double-click.
