I just got a bunch of used zip discs for free and some of them won't mount. I can understand if they might be PC format that they wouldn't work, but is there any way I can reformat these discs or at least force my Mac to recognize that they are in the drive? I can't even eject the discs from the desktop, I have to eject them manually.

How do you eject the zip discs manually?

I pried back the cover on the front of my G4 to expose the eject button underneath. Why Apple obscured the manual eject button like that is beyond all reason.
