[SOLVED] How to eject boot CD-ROM from iMac,while OSX is down

[nekoliko.niko]

Hi guys... i have got in trouble.. tryed alot of things to remove cd rom from computer... but nothing helps. I even try to chop it out,but nothing..


I've try to eject CD-ROM from recovery console.. but idk proper way to use it with commands. I can provide some pictures also if needed.

Just to mention.. its actually iMac box,not standard computer box. So.. on iMac there is no button on box to eject CD-ROM,and now i dont have any OS (nor OSX nor win XP). I have tryed to install xp,but some files are missing on CD(After i borrow my cd long time ago to a friend)


Looking for a fast response.

Regards,Dejan.

click and hold the mouse or trackpad button while restarting your Mac. try it and see if it works

Some cd drives will have a small pinhole into which you can push a pin to open the drive.
An unfolded paper clip is about the right size.

If that fails, you can open the drive by pulling the drive drawer out.
You might need to use a screwdriver to wedge it into the seams to get it started.

This is an iMAC , no holes , and slot in DVD no drawer.
