I thought you were ejecting it FROM the desktop. :) I think I had one machine do that a long time ago. It's probably some mechanical part NOT restraining things as it should. I never much worked with G5 iMacs but did work on plenty of Intel iMacs and they always ejected the disk normally. Maybe you need a padded catcher bucket for this one. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
