okay, so heres the deal... i began to install tiger (cd version), and i was prompted with the language select screen, i selected english and continued, but once it begins to prepare for installation, the system freezes... or so it seems... i let it hang for about an hour three quarters and then rebooted, but got no better results... ive installed this on another computer and had no problems, so im guessing the cd is damaged... not exactly sure though... whats more troublesome is that i cannot remove the disk either, because the system automatically boots from the cd... any advice as to what i should do?

Hold down the mouse button when starting up. It should eject. I hope it works.
