Dooough! I wonder if I can put the small 8cm CD-RWs in the disk drive. I don't see why not. I put it in... and now it's stuck.

Anyone now what I can do.

I have a iBook G4 with one of those slide in CD drives.

Thanks

If you can't fish it out with a paper clip, you'll have to disassemble your laptop and get the optical drive out and disassemble THAT.

I'm not sure the eject mechanism on these slot-loading drives can handle smaller media, which I believe you have now discovered yourself.

I thought this was common knowledge to not do this.

Just like putting an 8cm disc into a slot loading car CD player...
