I was trying to move a 2GB file from DVD to HD. But apparently there was something wrong with the DVD and there was an error. But now it is still trying to move the file, but it just hangs and nothing happens.
I can´t cancel the task and close the "copy window" or eject the DVD.

What should I do?

I don't know if you can see the window under Force Quit, but you could try that. If not, you could always try rebooting.

Also, are you certain that there isn't a prompt hidden behind a window somewhere?

I opened Force Quit window, but it was only for applications.

Nope, there´s no prompt windows open anywhere.

I quess rebooting is the only way to go. This starts to remind me of my PC days. :Grimmace:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!! It didn´t allow me to even reboot! What should I do??? I´m starting to panic!

You can relaunch the finder from the force quit menu Command - Shift - Esc
