You can’t eject a floppy disk.
If you can’t eject a floppy disk in the usual way, by selecting the disk’s icon
and choosing Eject Disk from the Special menu or by dragging the disk’s icon
to the trash, try the following in order:
m Hold down the x and Shift keys and press the number 1 key on
your keyboard.
m Turn off the computer. If the disk isn’t ejected, then hold down the button
on your mouse or other pointing device while you turn the computer
on again.
m Locate the small hole near the disk drive’s opening, and carefully insert the
end of a large straightened paper clip into it. Push gently until the disk is
ejected. Do not use excessive force.
If none of these solutions works, take the computer or disk drive to your
Apple-authorized service provider to have the disk removed.
