[X4U] CD stuck in drive

[Robert Ashton]

1) Restart the computer and hold down the mouse button. This should  
eject the cd
2) restart holding down the option key. This will put you into a  
window showing all bootable drives.  Here you should be able to push  
the eject key on your keyboard and this should eject the disk.
3) I believe there are utilities on the web to force eject a disk.
Hope that this helps. Bob
