• eject the disc from the drive USB Super

  Last night I unboxed my new USB Super drive and attached to my MacBookPro. I put in a DVD of registered film and was able to start playing. Then I ejected it by clicking on the disc icon on the desktop, because I was just testing how it connected etc...  Then, I wanted to see if he could save.

  I inserted a blank DVD and he asked me to tell him what to save, but I didn't save. Instead, he presented another option, which was to IGNORE.

  So I clicked on IGNORE. As a result, there was NO ICON ON THE DESKTOP for this drive. And the text to EJECT in menu bar is grey.

  Now I am sitting here with a new USB Super with a blank CD disk stuck in it and am totally IGNORED, I asked, but what I didn't know when I asked to ignore me.

  That's the problem. I disconnected, signed back in, and he has not yet cleared my instructions to ignore. So I can't eject the blank DVD disc.

  Where should I go from here?

  My MacBookPro is the retina, i7, 15 '' running ElCapitan, a model community 2015, I think.  I'm not on it now, but will open it to follow the suggestions for help. I'm a new converted to Apple, computing, coming from Windows, so I need the regular basic directions. Any help is appreciated.

• Ejecting the disc will not

  What can I do to eject a CD that will not eject?

  Hello franiebabe,

  ·         What happens when you try to eject the disk by pressing the button of the computer?

  ·         You try to eject the disk by right-clicking on the drive and click on eject?

  If you are unable to eject the disc using the button, you can try to reset your CD/DVD drive.

  Under the eject button, you will find a small hole. Try to stick a needle in the hole. This reset your CD drive and eject it.

  If you still have questions to eject the disc, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your computer as the hardware may be defective.

  Thank you

• Windows 7 installation problem - I can not load the disc of windows 7 for

  I can't get windows disk to load 7. I am trying to run the full version on top of XP.
  When I open my computer, always open the D drive then its empty. Any ideas?

  ETA, I try to install the 32 bit one

  I have an answer!

  At least, it worked for me tonight, and I pray it works out for others in this situation.

  I got exactly the same problem as you, except that I wanted to replace Vista with a clean install of Windows 7 on a computer of the 32-bit system IE.  But, like you, it just has not been grateful that there is a disc in there after that many 'click' would say tell me to insert a disc or that there was a disk failure.  I have since bought nine from a retailer, and was not very impressed and nor am I impressed by the response from Microsoft about this problem and must send them a letter expressing my displeasure.  Issues such as this must be properly studied and perhaps added to the 'specifications' of the software to warn buyers to potential problems of certain brands or models of PC.  In my opinion be told to get off the USB drive with a process that most of the audience would find almost impossible to understand and follow and with the many added costs of having to buy a portable hard drive, large enough DVD or USB drive is unacceptable, as far as Windows 7 is not an item to purchase low price as it is.

  In any case, this is what worked for me.

  I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to lose more than £100 and so I have to use a laptop hard drive in order to make the suggested drive of USB and copy the disc on the laptop hard drive.

  I went into 'my computer', inserted the disc and he started his stupid clicking on and was not recognized, but in the list readers on the left side, I dragged all drive "E" (which is my DVD player and where the disc of Windows 7 was) on the USB hard drive.  This does not seem to have an effect, so I click with the right button on the E drive and press "copy" and "Paste" on the USB hard drive.  Now, I'm not sure if there is just a delay between the first process or if it was this process that has worked (as a result, please try both), but suddenly it seemed to 'wake up' the disc and it was recognized instantly and "run setup.exe" appeared in a pop-up and I could finally install Windows 7!  (Please Note - Although the disc began to copy it to the USB, I could have cancelled at any time so didn't need actually portable hard drive for this process - it just seems to 'wake up' when I tried to copy it somewhere else).

  I really hope it works for all those stuck with this problem and would like to hear if it has.

  Another point to note is that during installation, the computer will restart several times, and each time restarted mine, it got stuck on the screen black 'boot from CD' (due to the computer not recognize drive).  It was, fortunately, easy to solved for me to eject the disc and then close it again (leaving the disc, of course).  The rest of the installation was fine.

  Please, please post on here if the works above for one of you who have problems.  I sincerely hope that it is.

• Cannot eject the disc while running Fusion

  Hi all

  I have an external hard drive with a rarely used vmdk. If I have the mounted external drive, launch the merger and open my Boot Camp virtual machine partition, I can't eject the external hard drive until I stopped the machine virtual Boot Camp and the merger. I think this is new behavior with 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 because I used to be able to eject the external hard drive with Fusion, run the Boot Camp virtual machine. Can anyone confirm this one way or another, and how to escalate this bug/feature of VMware? Thank you.

  Kind regards

  David

  This process works fine on my end.  I have a bunch of virtual machines on my external hard drive and when I insert a boot camp, I'm still able to eject the disc.  You could go to the Help menu merging and choose "Collect Support information" and then attach the file created in your answer.

  Have you added anything as a secondary hard drive in your machine settings virtual boot camp?  Did you add the drive as a shared folder in your virtual machine?  Have you removed the virtual computer in your external hard drive of Fusion and tried it this way?  Have you plugged disk images to your machine virtual boot camp are stored on the external hard drive?

• How can I check the disc for physical integrity on Satellite P305?

  I have P305-S8838.

  I had some freezing problems earlier this month, and on the notice here, I nu start-up and reduced services a little at a time.
  Now, I have a few more crash but don't know if it's a physical disk problem.

  For example... I have run CHKDSK and does many things and happens at the exact same spot and hangs at step 4 file 5 3498 or 421168 processed.

  I tried to run CHKDSK in SafeMode but tells me drive is locked and it will run when I restart. But the restart put back me in normal mode and get the same hang.

  Now, for more suspicion of a physical problem. I tried to make a disk image with ACronis and same problem occurs because he says impossible to reading data 226 964, 072 sector and ask if I want to ignore and continue. I say yes to everything. Log shows he made about three of these attempts and crashes.

  I ran sfc/scannow and it says found problems that he was unable to fix. The newspaper isn't so long and complex course that all means. I could send these log files if someone can help me understand.

  I ran the test of memory OK.

  I if I could put in DVD Toshiba and certain diagnoses, but when I put in the disk I get this big warning I'll crush, etc and I have chicken.

  This didn't stop me to use the computer, but its all irritating.

  How can I check the disc for physical integrity?

  For this, I recommend the freeware tool called Drive Fitness Test.

• Ejecting the disc external hard Force required

  Hi-

  I thought before that I had a solution to this problem, but obviously not.

  Almost whenever I click on the icon next to my external hard drive backup disk, in the left pane of a window of Finder, place appears an alert...

  

  The eject button Force works, so I have a workaround, but it seems unfair to have to use it.

  Time Machine power down and restart my machine clears the problem for a while, but then it comes back after a few hours or a few days.

  I tried to use 'lsof' Unix command in the Terminal, but haven't learned something from him.

  Any ideas?

  -Gil

  FWIW, I tried to recreate your problem with a USB 3.0 external drive. Unfortunately, I had no problem ejecting the disc without turning off time Machine. It is perhaps a matter of Firewire, but I have no Firewire drive to test.

  Something you might try is to reset the SMC or the NVRAM and see if that helps.

• Is it possible that I can do a shortcut to ejecting the disc (no keyboard)?

  On my PC, eject the physical disk does not work, so whenever I need to open the hard drive I have to go through Windows Explorer (computer / my computer), make a right click Eject. I know the same can be done by using a shortcut on the desktop to the D drive, but the Format option is directly above the ejection.

  Is it possible that I can do a shortcut on the desktop that will trigger the drive to open? I can Wizz-trigger that it closed.

  Thank you

  Maybe this?

  Open Notepad and create a file with only

  % Eject

  written in it. Save the document and rename it "eject.bat".

  Now, if you drag the file bat to your drive should eject, or if you right click on the .bat file and choose "send to", then select your drive should eject.
