[Cube] ejecting a stuck disk

[Lacorona at aol.com]

this is how i had to eject disk warrior yesterday as it was the startup disk 
and once iit was in and ran, i coiuldnt eject the disk and my cube wouldnt 
start up any other way than using disk warrior as start up disk... 
1. unplug (not shut down, unplug) (let rest a few moments)(I know, i 
know...but i keep thinking this last helps...lol)
2. THen,, hold down eject key on keyboard and button on mouse
3. press 'on' button on cube or monitor or keyboard
4. As cube starts up, It will eject disk then
5. Mine then started in OS9.2 instead of 10.3, so had to choose 10.3 under 
system prefs and shut down cpu and then start again. Everything was ok then. 
Next time i will not choose Disk warrior as startup disk, rather i will just 
force it to be a onetime startup by pressing 'c' key as i turn computer on with 
Disk Warrior in cube.


Live and learn.
Just my two cents worth for anyone who needs it.
