I'm having a little trouble here... maybe someone can help.
Trying to install Windows XP on my MacBook I found out that it apparently wasnt smart to buy just an upgrade. In the install it asks me to insert the CD of a previous windows i own (which I have enough of right here... 95,98,NT4,2000)... but I cant get the damn CD out of the drive! Raaah! :)
Any help would be appreciated

I'm pretty sure you need a full install CD. I know that if you hold down click on my MBP while the computer turns on/begins to boot, it ejects the CD. However, I'm doubtful that that would help. If you want to save yourself time and a headache, just go buy the full version or get it on ebay. On the other hand, if you're the kind of person who enjoys a challenge, I'd recommend searching for how you can use another program in XP to create a full install disk from the pieces you have.
