I just inherited an orange iMac DV from 1999. I know, I know the veritable dark ages, but it was free, and a darn site more up-to-date than my 7300. The problem is it won’t boot up. It gets stuck with a folder with a question mark. I tried booting from the system disc from the 7300, but no go. The problem is now that I’ve aquired the correct systems discs for the machine, but I can’t get the older 7300 system disc out of the iMac. It’s a slot-loader, not a tray, and there’s no little hole to poke a paperclip in! How the heck am I supposed to get it out. It’s my understanding that holding down the mouse button while rebooting should eject the disc, but no go. Oh, yeah, it doesn’t have the original mouse, it’s a four button Kensington.
Any ideas, fellow dopers? I’ve perused the Apple site, but found nothing.
