Setting the computer not to eject storage PC Cards at startup
If a you have a storage PC Card, such as an SRAM card or an ATA hard disk,
in either slot, the card will be ejected when the computer starts up. To prevent
excessive wear on PC Card connectors and slots, you can use the Startup Disk
control panel to keep storage PC Cards from ejecting when you turn on the
computer. (Other types of PC Cards, such as a modem or Ethernet card, are
not ejected at startup.)
Follow these steps to avoid having a storage PC Card eject at startup:
1
Open the Startup Disk control panel.
If you need instructions for opening the control panel, see “How do I make a
disk the startup disk?” in the Disks topic area of Mac OS Help, available in
the Help menu.

Click the icon for the computer’s hard disk to select it.
If you can’t eject a card, insert
the end of a straightened paper
clip into the hole next to the slot.
