How to get stuck disk out of MacBook pro

If macbook does boot partially and just doesn't complete booting, you can try to connect a USB mouse and keep the button (or both buttons, if there are two) pressed while booting.

There are some unconventional methods, such as turn your macbook upside down so the disc falls out of its place (pray that it happens) and then try to use a two sided duct tape attached to a thin card such as credit card. You can also use a suction pump (hand-vac or similar) to drag the disc out.

If above doesn't work then you will have to get the macbook for service and they can easily remove the disc. You can also do it, but opening the mac will void the warranty and hence absolutely not recommended.

In case you decide to open, you will need to open the aluminum body first using Philips screws and take then take out the disc drive from its base. Once you have the drive, you can open the drive using Philips head screws and pull the disc out.
