Force Eject CD in OS X, with Parallels, running Windows XP, oops.
I feel silly writing this, but more than that I feel obliged to try and help my fellow moron.
Twice now I’ve had a DVD get stuck in my Mac Book Pro. There are several ways to force eject a CD/DVD, though my favorite (the one I remember) is to boot while holding down the mouse button. But I just figured out what my real problem was. Windows XP, running in Parallels, was mounting my DVD instead of OS X. That’s why I couldn’t mount or eject it from OS X.
