Well, to eject your disc, you can always hold down the mouse button on startup. That will force your mac to eject the disc. As for boot up, have you tried holding down the alt/option key to see if your mac is even recognising it as a startup disc?

<div>I have a G4 that I'm trying to upgrade to OS X Tiger. I have two new SATA drives connected to a PCI SATA host adapter. I install Tiger to one of the drives and everything seems to install fine. When the machine restarts however, the installer starts again and I can't eject the dvd from the drive. To remove the dvd, I reconnected the old hard drive ( with os x
10.3 on it ) and removed it. I then went to the startup disk in system preferences and tried to start the machine with the new os x. But on restart, all I get is a folder that blinks with a picture of the finder in it. Please help me boot into my new os ! Thanks.
