Situation: You have a CD in your CD-ROM drive and want to eject the disc. There is no button on your CD-ROM drive to use to eject the disc. The computer is not starting up all the way, or the computer is trying to boot from the CD.
Solution: There are different ways to eject a CD or DVD from a CD/DVD-ROM drive without pushing an eject button on the drive. Try these suggestions in the order given. Hold the mouse button down at startup (Mac OS 8 - Mac OS X) Restart or startup your computer. Hold down the mouse button immediately. Continue to hold the mouse button down until the CD ejects.
