I was wondering if something like this would work when there is nothing in the drive. That's my take on his problem. If there was a disk in the drive, he could probably boot from it. There is always the possibility that it's an unfortunate coincidence of a hardware problem that just happened to occur after the upgrade. Check your manual; there may be a way to force the drive open, something like the old paper clip trick for floppies.
