Repeat all of the steps in reverse order to reassemble the drive and the computer.

NOTE when first powering up the computer you may hear some unusual sounds including several cycles of the Superdrive eject mechanism. This is the hardware realigning itself.

All should be back to normal within a couple of minutes of power up. The drive lock should reposition itself out of the way making disk insertion possible and the constant eject cycling will cease. Test the drive with your favorite disk!
