[QUOTE="Rottie, post: 1005297, member: 136859"] Hi there, From where I'm sitting, it sounds like your SD has died. The reason you don't see the eject icon on the screen is because either (i) there is no media in the drive to eject (I just checked this on my mini and no eject icon appeared, as the drive is empty) or (ii) the SD simply isn't being seen by System Profiler. If I recall correctly, when my SD died in my G4, the drive spun up at boot, but wouldn't read/write media. Do you have another drive to swap out, so you can diagnose further? Hope this info helps. :) [/QUOTE]
