My floppy is stuck in my hardrive. How do I take it out. I tried pressing the button to take it out but it just makes a funny noise.

get a pair of tweezer then gently pull disk out / take small flat piece of plastic and slowly but gently place in drive above and below disk. this should then help you pop disk out.
***** But Be careful you could destroy your floppy drive *****

I think you are mixing apples and oranges. You can't put a floppy disk in a hard drive. Do you mean you can get a 3 1/2" disk out of the floppy drive? If so, you sometimes take a pair of needlenose pliers and gently tug up and toward you on the floppy disk while pressing the eject button.

If you look closely at the face of the Floppy Drive, or CD Drive, or whereever you put the floppy, there is a small hole. If you take something thin, like a paperclip, and jam it into the hole, it will open what ever device you stuck the floppy into. Good Luck! Cheers!

Ok, maybe you inserted the wrong
kind of diskette. If you want you will
have to remove the floppy drive
from the case. then try using a pair
of needle node pliers and hold the
button down on the floppy drive as
your putting on the diskette with the
needle node. after you get the disk out
replace your drive. I could be damaged

you have a floppy disk in your hard drive......you have serious problems, as floppy disks go into the FLOPPYdrive...not the hard disk..... turn off pc, and use a pair of long nose pliers to pull the disk out whilst pressing the eject button......thats prob the only way......if not replace the floppy drive...they are well cheap

Had that happen once. Bummer. The metal got stuck when I tried to remove it. You can try gently (underline gently) to get hold of it with a tweezer, but if it doesn't eject without too much trouble, you had better take it in to a pro. You don't want to ruin the drive.
