Small CD stuck in the drive!

[BimBam]

Same thing happened to me a year ago, and I found a quick way to get the mini-CD out without damaging anything : just take one of those sticky address labels and press it onto the mini-Cd with a credit card or the like. Then, pull.
It'll be out in seconds.

I've tried something similar, but doesn't always work.
I had a drive with the disk stuck in the back of the drive, and nothing that I could find would reach it with enough leverage to stick. Sometimes you have to disassemble the drive - not an easy task on an iMac G5 iSight.

i totally agree..with this way..try to keep the straightened clip at the drive's ceiling and keep dragging the cd towards u..u will surely get to the center hole quickly

Or, you might hook onto the drive mechanism or the optical head support assembly. In that case, you will also take care of the problem, as you won't need to remove the disk then...
