[QUOTE="Mistrimeat, post: 59839"] Hey guys - I searched for a while but couldnt find the answer. I have a G4 tower running 10.3 I changed my Startup Disk to boot into 9.2, and it crashed (froze) just after restarting. Upon rebooting a second time, I get the "cant find a system folder" blinking icon thing (System Folder with a flashing question mark). Now I could fix the problem if I could just get my OS X CD in there, but the CD drive wont eject. I have an aftermarket keyboard with no eject button and the drive itself has no buttons. There is a CD in the drive already and it just spins constantly during all this. Is there a key sequence or some reset button somewhere I can hit that'll magically eject it? Any help appreciated!
