You can’t eject a floppy disk
If you can’t eject a floppy disk in the usual way, try the following in order:
m Hold down the x and Shift keys and press the number 1 key on your
keyboard to eject a disk in the internal disk drive.
m Tur n off the computer. If the disk isn’t ejected, then hold down the button
on your mouse or other pointing device while you turn the computer on
again.
m Locate the small hole near the disk drive’s opening, and carefully insert the
end of a large straightened paper clip into it. Push gently until the disk is
ejected. Do not use excessive force.
If none of these solutions work, take the computer or disk drive to your
Apple-authorized service provider to have the disk removed.
You installed a CD-ROM player after you bought your computer and your computer won’t
restart after you’ve copied software for your CD-ROM player to the System Folder.
m If you attempt to install software for your CD-ROM player without using
the Installer, you may not be able to restart your computer. Restart the
computer with the Shift key held down (to turn off system extensions), then
remove any CD-ROM software files you copied by dragging them to the
Trash. Reinstall the software according to the instructions that came with
the drive.
If this procedure doesn’t solve the problem, start your computer using the
Disk Tools floppy disk or the CD-ROM disc containing system software that
came with your computer. (For instructions on starting your computer
using a floppy disk, see “Starting Up From a Floppy Disk” in the section
“Initializing a Hard Disk,” later in this chapter.)
