arcade cd drive, re: shipping, does disc need to be out?

can anyone answer in 5 mins! thanx

for street fighter 3rd strike set,
does the disc need to be out of the cd driver for shipment?
does the cd driver need to be power to get it to open?

i have the kit all boxed up and at the shippers, would have to retrieve if the cd should be out.
the cd driver is packed with the disc in now, but its wrapped in 2" of bubble wrap and in a separate box inside the box with even more bubble wrap round it, and then in larger box

personally I would pull the disc from the drive to prevent scratching, you can use a paperclip in the hole in the front of the tray to eject the tray without power.
 
what mick said. it can actually damage the drive too, I've seen drives of varying quality get messed up from being moved around with discs in them. (messed up balance, discs getting stuck IN the drive, etc.)

there's an eject hole on the front of the drive, try to maneuver a straightened paperclip in there and it should trigger the tray open enough for you to manually open it.
