Floppy Drive?

I loaded a floppy into the drive(1st time I had used it), the drive worked, but I can't eject the disk.Pushing the button moves it a fraction, & I can't grab it.

    Hi

    The protective slide is trapped inside the drive, you may be lucky and use some thin tweasers to help but chances are that you will leave the slider inside the drive and unless you are very technically adept (or very lucky) you won't get it out. and have to replace the drive..

    They are not expensive and replacing to may be cheaper than getting it repaired

    Good luck
