Disc Stuck in your Macbook or Macbook Pro?

Sad Macbook ProI just learned a genius trick online today, after fearing the worst for my poor (BRAND NEW) Macbook Pro.

I was playing around trying to install the old operating system so I could run a program I needed, and the computer just got stuck in a loop, continuously re-starting itself. I guess it didn’t like the fact that it was an old disc or something. But I couldn’t get it to stop, and I couldn’t retrieve the disc.

So I used my other computer to Google “Disc Stuck in Macbook Pro”, giving me tons of results from other people having the same issue. The general consensus on a solution, is to hold down the trackpad (mouse) button while it is booting. Sure enough, like magic, it is able to boot up again properly and not a single file has been disturbed. Thank God for Apple. I’d put money on it that something would never work so flawlessly on a PC.
