If the cd tray isn't ejecting by either pressing the eject button on the keyboard or holding the mouse button down at startup then can you access the eject button on the drive itself. Did you say you were on a G4? If so then I'm pretty sure that all the G4 CD/DVD drives have accessible eject buttons if you manually open the cover draw on the G4 chassis. If it still doesn't eject then check cabling - remove then re-attach. Also check the bus cables to both your hard drive and CD drive. If none of this works then try checking your RAM by removing all and leaving just one stick installed at a time. Best o' luck. Coj <cmedbery at coxinet.net> Does not work. Apparently I don't get that far in the boot process. Option- restart also does not work. > From: Robert <rashton at telus.net> > Date: 2005/05/17 Tue AM 08:26:45 CDT > To: "A place to discuss Mac OS X for the casual user." <x4u at listserver.themacintoshguy.com> > Subject: Re: [X4U] Open tray > > Restart and hold down the mouse button..
