Try opening the tower, and see if you can manually eject it. I may be talking out my ass, though, since I don't know much about that stuff.

sounds weird but... what sometimes helped for me was to open Nero burning rom and use the eject medium option in there.

Just get a screw driver and force it open. DVD-ROM drives are dirt cheap now.

I tried the Nero thing, and you could tell it was trying to open, as it was making noises, but it wouldnt open. It's got to be stuck on something. Thanks for the thought though..

I'd be willing to try the screwdrive thing, but would that jst break it? and then od have to get someone to coem out and install another one :(

Sometimes, all you need to do is put in a little elbow grease!  8)

Funny how the toughest of problems only require the simplest solution.  :peace:
