When You’re Finished With the CD
When you start up your computer from a CD, the CD cannot be ejected in the usual way (by
dragging the CD icon to the Trash). To restart your computer from the hard disk and eject
the CD, do one of the following:
m Choose Restart from the Special menu. Immediately after hearing the startup chime,
press the CD Eject button on the front of the CD drive. Remove the CD and store it in a
safe place. Gently push the tray in to close it.
m Open the Startup Disk control panel, select the hard disk, then close the control panel.
Restart your computer. After startup, drag the CD icon to the Trash (or choose Put Away
from the File menu). When the CD tray opens, remove the CD and store it in a safe place.
Gently push the tray in to close it.
Selecting the CD Drive as Your Startup Disk
If you want to start up from a CD, you can choose the CD drive as the startup disk in the
Startup Disk control panel. To do this, follow these steps:
1 Insert a CD disc into the CD drive on your computer.
2 Open the Startup Disk control panel.
3 Click the CD icon, then close the control panel.
Your computer will now start up from the CD until you change the startup disk.
