I am trying to do my tri-monthly defrag with DG. I put the disc in, restart and hold the c key. A few seconds later, the disc is automatically ejected. What's the friggin problem???

Is your DG disc clean, scratch free and otherwise in good condition?

Out of curiosity, why would you be doing a tri-monthly defrag? Do you work with uncompressed audio or video source files without erasing your work drive after a project, or do you just like regularly putting your computer out of commission for an extended period of time?

There is practically no need to defragment your disk anymore, OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in the background. So as long as you have sufficient disk space, there is really no need.

Well, without any specs on the computer (model, OS version, etc) and the version of Drive Genius (version # and OS on the disc), it's a little hard to tell you what the friggin' problem is.

I would have asked that, but he implied that this just suddenly started happening.
