Read Write Drive won't open

[beechman]

I put a cd in my read/write drive on my Gateway desktop to download some pictures.  Now I can't get the drawer to open when I push the eject button so I can't get the cd out.  Any ideas..Thanks  Rick

beechman .....Ok ...... try this .... go to My Computer ........ put your cursor on the cd drive that won't open , right click and click on eject .

If that won't open it , get a paper clip , open it up ( look for a small hole ) insert the end of the paper clip in the hole ( it should slid in maybe 1/2" )and then you should feel it stop.... put a bit more pressure and the manual release should move back and you will be able to open the drawer that way.

If what dl65 doesn't work, reboot the computer.
