Chapter 18. Ejecting Disks
Disks go in and disks come out. Sometimes they don’t come out. Sometimes they get stuck. Sometimes they won’t “mount,” which means their icon doesn’t show up on the Desktop. This short section covers all the tricks to getting removable hard disks, CDs, DVDs, and even floppy disks in and out of your Macintosh.
