I don't know if the MacBook Pro has a eject button inside drive slot. Powerbooks have a small button on right side of slot for the cd, that if pressed with a small screwdriver or toothpick will eject disk.


If not hold down eject button or c key while rebooting......

^ ditto. I'm sure the MBP's also have the eject button. On the PB's its right to the left of the power button, right of F12, and above Delete.

No I was talking about inside the slot where CD is inserted.... there is a small manual eject mechanism!

I had the same problem when i was installing WinXP (the disk seems to be thicker). Try leaving it off for a minutes before restarting then as soon as you power it up, hit the disk eject button, if that doesn't work leave it off longer and try it again.
