My USB SuperDrive does not accept to eject a CD My USB SuperDrive does not accept to eject a cd that it cannot mount (thus invisible on the desktop) I tried several actions without success: 1) eject via disk utility. In that case, I must wait several minutes before SuperDrive is visible. Impossible to eject the CD by clicking in disk utility (neither on the left bar nor in the menu). I can see the title of the cd in disk utility ! That's all. 2) eject by reboot + mouse click. Any possibility to eject it mechanically or find a magical trick ? SuperDrive was working fine a few minutes ago as I was replaying CDs and DVDs to check their contents against the label... The last one had no label... Thanks for Help

Ok, since you’re a top flight engineer, now how can I get out of the Installer ?? Hmmm?
