Problems with floppy disks and floppy disk drives
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 Put Away 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 Shut down the computer. If the disk isn’t ejected, hold down the button on your trackpad 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.
