Cant start iMac or eject DVD

Hi I have an iMac running Lion and it suddenly started working in the background and not responding whilst I was watching a DVD. I had to shut it down and now I can't login to a user it just shutsdown if I log in as the user that was using it with the DVD. If I login as another account it just goes to a grey scren with endless looping circle and I cant even eject DVD.

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3

To eject the DVD at startup hold down one of the mouse buttons. If you are using a bluetooth mouse you might have to connect a USB mouse to complete this action.


As to why the system isn't fully starting I suspect you have a hard drive problem. See if you can boot to the recovery HD partition by holding down the Command + r keys at startup. Run Disk Utility to verify the drive.
