I ended up very carefully and slowly grabbing the disk with a pair of forceps and pulling it out. Then I replaced the <bleeping> drive. My other funny disk story also happened on a G5 iMac. A user called me in a panic, she had absentmindedly stuck a 3 1/2" mini disk into her G5, something she knew was wrong. I bundled up all my tools, prepared to disassemble the thing, but I determined that the disk was somewhat loose. She'd gone into the other room for something, and came back in just after I'd disconnected everything, picked it up, turned it so the slot faced down and shook it hard a couple of times. The disk slipped out enough for me to grab it...she was expecting some high tech surgery, and collapsed in laughter at seeing me shake the disk out like a toy from a cereal box... -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
