stuck dvd drive
Little hole in the front of the drive......insert a paperclip
that should open the drawer and you can retrieve your DVD bfore you go out and buy a new unit to replace the broken one. peter -- "Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."

Have you tried a simple reboot? Doing a reboot will shutdown any program that has exclusive rights to that drive and is not releasing it. -- Mike Pawlak
