verry urgent
He might find a third-party option for a bit less money, but you'll have to
contact an authorized service facility since Apple of course won't
stock/install third-party drives as far as I know. Don't quote me, but I think
when I looked into this a few years ago for an iMac, I got a quote of $250 or
something along those lines. I believe the Mac Mini uses a laptop drive and I
have no idea what it would cost. If there is nothing else wrong with the
machine, you might consider an external drive, which would be less expensive.

Hi,
Well, it's probably hard to give an accurate estimate. The best idea,
really, is to call Apple and ask them, I would think.

Earlier Mac Minis seem to have a fairly high rate of drive failures. As
soon as you press the eject button try tilting the mini forward so the slot
faces downwards and at the same time smack the back of te Mini with the palm of
your hand. I suspect the drive will need to be replaced.

Sounds like your drive is, as you say, have you asked your local
store's genius bar folks to look @ it? Where are you located?

no this was a mini I got used off of some one
the cd drive isn't bringing the disk to a spot where I can grab
it
it acts like it isn't bringing it to the slot
meaning it doesn't even hit the slot to even grab it
I have a feeling my drive is shot
hopefully I didn't scratch my disk

Try holding the power & eject buttons @ the same time & see
if that does the trick. Never heard of Apple charging to eject a cd is the mini
under warrenty?
