Toshiba A1 User Manual page 207

To remove a disc without turning on the computer, use a
narrow object, such as a straightened paper clip, to press the
manual eject button. This button is in the small hole next to
the disc eject button on the right side of the computer.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil
lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.
Some discs run correctly, but others do not.
If the problem is with an application CD-ROM, refer to the
software's documentation and check that the hardware
configuration meets the program's needs.
The color of the materials used to make the disc can affect its
reliability. Silver-colored CD-ROMs are the most reliable,
followed by gold-colored CD-ROM. Green-colored CD-
ROMs are the least reliable.
