Floppy disk drive
I can’t eject a floppy disk.
m The disk may be stuck. Restart the computer, holding down the button on
your trackpad. If the disk is not ejected, you can eject it manually.
Carefully insert the end of a straightened paper clip into the small hole
near the disk drive’s opening, and push firmly until the disk is ejected.
I can’t save or copy files onto a floppy disk.
m The disk may be locked. Unlock it by sliding the tab at the corner of the
disk so that it covers the hole.
m The disk may be full. Throw away items on the disk that you no longer
need, or save the files on a different disk.
m The disk or disk drive may be damaged. Test it with Disk First Aid (on the
Disk Tools disk that came with your computer).
Insert the end of a
large, straightened
paper clip into
this hole.
