Sounds like a Macintosh thing.
You could try to eject by right-clicking on the driver in Explorer (My
Computer) and choosing "Eject".
Or you could try rebooting and pressing the button on the front before
windows loads up fully.
Or you could use a paperclip carefully straightened and inserted into the
small pin hole in front of your CD Drive. That is a Manual eject.

In any case, if it is mechanically defective, get a new one. heh

Usually you can just right click on the drive letter in your file manager
and there should be an eject selection.
