Problems with hardware
Floppy disk drive
I can’t eject a floppy disk.
mThe disk may be stuck. Restart the computer, holding down the button on your trackpad. If the disk is not ejected, you can eject it manually. Carefully insert the end of a straightened paper clip into the small hole near the disk drive’s opening, and push firmly until the disk is ejected.
Insert the end of a large, straightened paper clip into this hole.
I can’t save or copy files onto a floppy disk.
mThe disk may be locked. Unlock it by sliding the tab at the corner of the disk so that it covers the hole.
mThe disk may be full. Throw away items on the disk that you no longer need, or save the files on a different disk.
mThe disk or disk drive may be damaged. Test it with Disk First Aid (on the Disk Tools disk that came with your computer).
