I have Windows installed on my Mac and I inserted a disk into the drive and my computer froze. I hit close and then "End Now" and then it went to just a blank screen with only the background and mouse showing. I restarted the computer and Mac is now stuck on the grey screen. I think I can fix it with the Mac OS X 10.4 Disk but there's already a CD in there. Is there someway to eject the CD? The Keyboard button and holding down the mouse didn't work. By the way, I have an iMac.

Thanks.

Try doing a restart and hold down the button on your mouse

take a look at this article and see if it will help

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106752

something else to try

"1. Shut down your machine completely (do not restart)

2. Disconnect the power cord
3. Leave the machine to sit for a few minutes
4. Reconnect the power cord
5. Press the power button to turn on your machine
The CD will appear on the desktop"

I read this on the apple discussion group at this point you have nothing to lose

Did you hold it down right after the startup chime when you rebooted? if not, then do so. Don't let go until it ejects.
