Mini-CD
I recently tried to use a mini-CD and did not seat it properly before putting into the tower. The CD fell out and is inside the tower. How can I get it out with out using the big hammer theory?
Thanks

Did the mini-CD fall out inside the drive or the tower?
If it fell into the tower, you can open it and remove it.
If it fell out in the drive, you will need to remove the
drive and open it and retrieve the CD.
Tell us the model of your computer and we will post the
Service Manual to show how to open the computer and how
to remove the drive if necessary.

Here is the Service Manual section for Removing and Installing
Parts .........

The drive should be easy to remove. Just to note, a mini-CD
cannot be used in a vertical drive. The system must be in the
horizontal position to use a mini-CD.

Skybird - You saved the day buddy. I got it out and will not put it back in this computer. I will take it to work tomorrow and review it.
Thanks a lot.....I really appreciate the help and advice.
