Have you tried holding down the left-side "shift" key? It works as long
as you hold it down while the disk loads up and then spins up. You should
get a long LED illumination as the disk is loading and speeding up and then
usually a short flash as the OS samples the disk for AutoPlay instructions.
After that, you can let go.
