[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 772519, member: 24098"] Typically an external mouse will allow you to eject with the button held down, especially a wired model. I'd give that another try - or try a different USB mouse and see what happens. If it's just a read error on the disc and nothing mechanical, it really should just be a matter of getting the machine to recognize that you want to do a power-on eject. Have you tried holding the eject key during startup (i.e. immediately after turning on the power)? [/QUOTE]
