This was great until your Mac decided that it didn't want to unmount that disk for some reason. And then you got out a paperclip.

- PhasmaFelis 11y agoI actually remember frantically searching through my uncle's Mac manual after I inserted a corrupt boot disk (or possibly not a boot disk at all) and then couldn't get the thing to boot, which meant I couldn't use the soft eject. Fortunately the paperclip trick was in there.
- minikites 11y agoBefore resorting to a paper clip, the trick was to reboot while holding the mouse button. This still works today with CDs if the CD is damaged and the OS gets caught up trying to read it.
