Thanks, that did the trick.
The CD ejected just fine.
Now, the screen is saying that there is no bootable device in the system, so 
I wonder if this means that I will have to reinstall Lepoard from the 
original CD?
What a mess!

Thanks.

if you have a mouse hooked up, hold down the mouse button while the mini
boots and the disc should pop out out.  There's a way to get the system to
force the hd to boot too but I don't remember what it is off hand.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Stuck CD in Mac Mini


Hi to the list.
While trying to install Windows Vista through Bootcamp, I have somehow made
an incorrect installation setting and need to try to start over again.
The Windows CD is in the Mac Mini, and of course, when turning on the
machine, it wants to boot from the windows CD.
I'm hoping there's a way to eject the Windows CD upon startup.
Thanks for any assistance.
