Q: how do I use a 3.5" disk to install software?

I have a 3.5" disk for software installation, but I am uncomfortable just sticking it into the drive without knowing that it will take it and eject it when it is finished.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

A:

Don't, your Mac's Optical Drive only takes standard size DVDs and CDs.

Instead, go the the Manufactures web site and look for the latest OS X software.
