[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 277281, member: 20564"] sometimes when things like this happen to me, logging out and while at the login window, hitting the eject button has worked - as then, the mac isn't trying to read the CD. This has worked a few times for me. I'm not sure what causes it. I have a few CD's which are write-protected and automatically eject themselves upon being inserted into computers. Perhaps this is something similar? Anyway, try logging out and hitting eject. I don't know anything more advanced than that. I'm not sure if apple+e works at the login window, but it's also worth a shot. Here's hoping it works for you ;) [/QUOTE]
