RD XV47KB will not eject a disc from the DVD unit

I have a problem, for some reason it will not eject a disc from the dvd unit,I have tried the obvious solutions to no avail, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Hey,
Have you already disconnected the DVD recorder from power for at least 5 minutes? If not try this and disconnect it from power. Then try it again to remove the DVD.
In worst case the drive is malfunctioning and it must be repaired from an authorized service provider in your country.

I usually 'right click' or 'control click' on the external drive's icon that is located on the desktop, and choose 'eject' from the dropdown menu. My external drive also has a physical eject button located on the front of the drive.

A waste of CD-ROM...........,in china, many people install linux just by iso,don't burn the iso,
could you give me the two files (the "vmlinz "and the "initrd.img") in archlinux2008.03.iso, those can't find in archlinux2008.06.iso
my email :[email protected]
Do you have a USB stick you could copy the image to? Where I live, a CD costs $0.50 at most. To put that into perspective. A coffee costs a $1.00. Either a CD costs a lot more than a coffee where you live or are you telling me you'd rather get a lot of grey hair than buy half a coffee?
Sorry I can't be of much help. I don't know how to do this method of installation. If you're desperate, you could try making an extra partition, and trying something with that. Take a look at these:

HT1758 my old imac has no manual button to eject my dvd from the hard drive

I am having trouble ejecting the dvd from my old imac which has no manual button to help me eject manually.

Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

How to delete SMS text from the hard drive of a IPhone 3gs

How do I delete SMS text from the hard drive of a iPhone 3GS

If you want to delete the messages from within the text app, swipe over the name or number of the sender and hit delete.
If you are afraid that someone will be able to restore them by ckecking your HD, you will have to set up the phone "as new device" or choose "erase all content and Settings" in Settings/General/Reset. But this willerase the whole phone, not only your text messages.

How do I remove programmes from the hard drive

Hi This may seem stupid but as a new Mac user I can find no way of deleting an installed photoshop and skype from the hard drive. Can anyone help please?

I do not recommend the "drag and drop" method since there may be artifacts left behind that have been installed into other folders.
Suggest you go to Photoshop and Skype support web site. Carolyn's advice is also good too.
For Adobe Photoshop:
Use the Uninstaller in Utilities/Adobe Installers.
If that doesn't work, download this, read the instructions very carefully and follow them.

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on the hard drive. Also Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.

How do i start up from the dvd drive on an imac

Just got a 27 imac os x 10.6. tried to migrate from my macbook pro os 10.5.8. migration by ethernet with the 2 connected to each other only. Migration failed after over an hour. so i clicked cancel migration waited another hour nothing happened so i shut the imac down manually. On restart it took over 20 minutes to reboot and i was able to log in. now i dont trust the applications files etc that migrated so I want to remove everything and do a "clean install" so that im not starting out with a corrupted brand new mac. any suggestions ?

Insert the DVD, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility in the Utilities menu to erase the drive, and install the OS.

You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps
