Need Start-Up Help STAT!
#1
Designer friend is coming over in a few minutes with her mid-vintage PowerBook G4. I'm guessing it's 1 mhz AlBook. She is getting extensive startup hangs. I told her to startup from her Install CD and she said there's another CD in the drive (with massive files) that she can't get out due to the bad startup. She said she gets an error saying something like Firewall and/or one that says Looking for Printer. My guess is she has some jobs waiting to print that are clogging up the system.

I know you can usually hold down the mouse button at startup to eject a CD, but is there any other way to manually get that sucker out? I'm afraid we won't even be able to get that far if it is just hanging.

Thanks for any advice!
