How to eject a CD manually from a MacBook Solved

Question

Hello,

I created a BootCamp partition on my Mac. So far, so good. I insert my Vista installation CD, I click on "Install Windows" in BootCamp. My Mac restarts. The Windows installation screen appears and I click on "Install Windows". I am asked for my identification key. I enter it and click on "Next". I am asked for the Windows installation partition. I click on the nice partition for Windows, created by BootCamp, but then, to my surprise, "Windows cannot be installed on this partition, it needs a partition formatted in NTFS." I believe BootCamp must have messed up, but the vital question is how to manually eject a CD from a MacBook?, knowing that when the Mac starts up, the Apple logo doesn't even appear...

I will be honest with you, I even dismantled the MacBook, found nothing, so at this point... I am desperate...

PS: My Mac is still under warranty, but I don't know if this has any importance...

Good evening,  To eject a CD/DVD, simply restart while holding down the mouse button (if you have a mouse) or the trackpad button. -- Happiness is an extra plate of fries.  [Charles Monroe Schulz]

Good evening  If it's the drawer that won't open, it should have a small hole where a paperclip, for example, can fit in, and you just need to apply a slight pressure to open it.  Best regards.

In fact, it's not really a drawer, it's a record player... -- Changing something is transforming it into what it is not.

I know this trick with the mouse button held down as a restart shortcut.
However, it doesn't work in my case! My Mac doesn't recognize any CD/DVD even though there's one stuck inside!
If you know how to force it out, please let me know!

Personally, I just had the same issue, namely a bootcamp procedure canceled because it showed me a problem with the cd/dvd driver not being recognized, making it impossible for me to install seven. And since the mac reboots by default from the cd during the bootcamp procedure, it was therefore impossible to eject the stuck cd using any method from the mac os (considering that it seemed to me that the keyboard was not activated or recognized either, so I think the problem came from bootcamp).
Anyway, by turning the computer back on and holding down the button on my trackpad (I alternated between the two about every 20 seconds, not knowing which mouse button to hold :p), the cd managed to eject! Phew! Saved! This, after "many" noises coming from the superdrive and the fact that the boot was certainly trying to occur from the cd. From the moment I started this manipulation until the cd ejection, about a minute must have passed, I think. I hope this helps you.
Have a great rest of the day everyone!
