No grinding noise... just stopped moving. Seems ridiculous that it would hit one bump and just die!

Does it make a grinding noise when you do push the eject button? Sometimes (rarely) you can 'eject' it, then pull on the tray all the way out and give it a gentle yank. Sometimes that pops it back into the gears, but more than likely the drive is broken now. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
