repair. If the second disk is also not recognized, call Apple (see the service

Info from the File menu). Or you can hold down the Option key while you
choose Empty Trash from the Special menu.
m An application program may be using the file. Quit the program.

m The disk may be locked. Unlock it by sliding the tab so that it covers the
