I heart nothing
The drive in my mini died... So I reformated and reinstalled the OS even tho I had errors on the drive that just would not fix.
This install not even 2 weeks old went south. I think the drive was just too ****** to survive. SOmething for the OS was on a bad spot and it went into lala and never came back (im assuming probably virtual was there)
I got it to boot up once more, popped in the OS install DVD and before i could even reboot, it went south. Now I cannot for the life of me get the disc to eject or respond.
I tried holding the mouse down on reboot, the open firmware eject command, etc. There doesnt seem to be a manual paperclip hole to force it to eject so im not sure ow to get it out. ANd I need to remove the disc from the dvd-rw.
i am HOPING that when my new drive arrives this week that when I boot it, it will work to let me get access to the installer (and boot off it) but just in case..
Anyone know of any method to manually eject a CD/DVD from a laptop style drive manually without breaking the drive or the disc?
