Getting disc to eject while operating windows xp on my Imac

I have downloaded Windows XP on my Mac but I cannot get any disc to eject while in Windows. I have tried pushing the eject button on my Keyboard but nothing happens. Does anybody know how to get discs to eject while operating in Windows?

I am assuming that you have installed Windows successfully and that your EJECT KEY does not work.
1. Go to MY COMPUTER on the DESKTOP
2. Locate the CD Drive and HIGHLIGHT it.
3. RIGHT CLICK and choose EJECT
If this works then you still have an issue. It leads me to think that your Screen and Keyboard Brightness Keys do not work either.
Upon successful installation of Windows, did you insert the Leopard installation disk (while in Windows) and let it automatically install all the Boot Camp drivers?

    Hi there @Achintya-only
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I see that you are getting an error code, when you try to install Windows 8.1 from USB or DVD. I am happy to assist.
    Just to clarify, you are using a standalone Windows installation disk, you are not using a factory recovery image. Is that correct?
    Have you run the hardware diagnostics on your notebook? HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    What operating system was on the system before, and have you made a set of recovery media, for your original factory installation?
    Please let me know what you find.

  • I cannot get full 4k2k resolution while bootcamp windows 8.1 on new mac pro

    When using OS X Yosemite, I get full 4k resolution on my mac pro 2013 using a seiki 39" TV/monitor. However, when I'm using widows 8.1 on the bootcamp partition I can only get 1080P. Has anyone seen this problem? Is it the mini display to HDMI cord that I'm using? Would this still be the case if I went straight HDMI to HDMI? On OS X side its full 4k at 30Hz default, but in bootcamp its 1080P at 60Hz default. Thanks, footdocy.

    Did you upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1? If so then:
    Additional Information
    4K displays and Ultra HD TVs using Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 with Boot Camp use the same rules as OS X. If you upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1, you should repair Boot Camp drivers.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • Move to new computer, get "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc

    I tried to move my PE6 install and catalog to a new computer.  It was on a Dell Windows XP machine, and I moved it to a Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) machine.  I have always kept my photo files on an external hard drive.  My photo library is 50GB, 10,000 files.  Here is what I did.
    Copied the original PE6 install file to the Toshiba.  Installed but didn’t activate it.
    Copied the entire My Catalog folder to the proper Windows 7 location.
    Plugged the external drive into the Toshiba.  Made sure the same drive letter as before (E).
    Fired up PE6 on Toshiba.  Looked good in Organizer.  Everything seemed to be there, but I didn't try to make changes at that point.
    Deactivated PE6 on the Dell.  Activated on the Toshiba.
    Then I realized that it is not right.  I can edit Keywords and Rating stars on the pics, but not dates, captions or notes.  I get “An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be problems with the source media.”
    Only a fraction of the external drive is in use.
    I can access the files on the external drive with another app (Windows Photo Viewer).
    I tried Reconnect All Missing Files.  Somewhat ambiguously, it says “There are no files to reconnect.”
    In the properties in the Organizer for each picture are the proper file names and paths.  Folder view works fine in Organizer.
    I can put new files in the same external drive directories, import them into PE6, then edit them normally.
    What is the easiest way to get Organizer properly connected to my files?  I suppose I could reimport all the pics on the new machine, but I assume I'd lose some of my metadata.  So that is out of the question.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Are you sure that file paths are correct? I say this because under XP they would have originally pointed to Documents & Settings/My Pictures whereas on W7 it will be User/Pictures, albeit you are using an external hd.
    Take a look at this knowledge base note on the correct procedure for back-up and restore.
    I think writing metadata to files for such a large catalog will be a thankless task.

  • While trying to burn a CD of a playlist, the disc was ejected with the message: medium write error. What does this mean?

    While trying to burn a CD of a playlist, the disc was ejected with the message "medium write error" . What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
    I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

  • SuperDrive starting to get weak at ejecting discs?

    I have a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J from a MBP that I bought around 2007 I think. I'm sure in computer years, it's getting on in its age. Anyway, I rent a LOT of DVDs and CDs from the library, so I don't know if it's a combination of these discs possibly being a bit thicker than normal (they used to have theft-deterrent strips on them, but no longer, so I don't know if there's other secret stuff on them now) but I'm noticing that the discs simply aren't ejecting easily. Usually have to catch them with my fingernails and grab the disc before it gets pulled back in, or in most cases, the disc barely ejects and I have to eject repeatedly until it somehow gets enough of a push to pop out.
    Is the drive wearing out? I've been researching how to eject stuck discs for the inevitable day when the disc simply won't do anything, but if the actual ejector is weak, then how will force ejecting even work? While a CD in my computer would be quite the bother, I'm more concerned about it being a library disc that I'll have to pay beaucoup bucks for to replace.
    Any advice?
    Also, does "drutil eject" still work these days? Not sure if that's an old command or what.

    "drutil eject" still works, but it sounds as if you're nearing a mechanical failure with the drive. You can have Apple replace the drive - very expensive - or you can purchase a new SuperDrive from Other World Computing and install it yourself. I wouldn't wait too long - you may end up with a stuck library disc and either have to disassemble the machine or take it to Apple to retrieve it.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • I keep getting a Please wait while windows configures itunes

    I keep getting a Please wait while windows configures itunes...
    It started this afternoon, I thought nothing of it and reinstalled itunes again and that seemed to have fixed the problem, but the problem has reoccurred.
    I've done a bit of research on how to fix for example going through to the regedit and changing the pcast Permissions etc but this hasn't helped at all, if anything Its made things worse because I cant uninstall itunes now.
    Please can anybody help me.
    Cheers

    If iTunes launches eventually then it's simply a matter of the installer not having correctly updated the shortcuts.
    Delete the shortcut to iTunes on your desktop and, if you have them, in the recently used/favouite applications area of the start menu and/or quick launch menu. Use the main *All Programs > iTunes > iTunes* icon to start iTunes. Copy this icon out to your desktop and/or quick launch menu if required.
    If that still doesn't work, create a new shortcut from the file at C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe and replace all existing shortcuts with the new one.
    If iTunes won't start at all then you have another problem that I'm thankfully (at least for me) not familiar with...
