Cannot eject compact disc (tray-load unit).
Cause
Disc not properly seated in the drive.
Eject button may not be functioning.
CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, or DVD-R/RW drive cannot read a disc or takes too long to start.
Cause
Media has been inserted upside down.
The DVD-ROM drive takes longer to start because it has to
determine the type of media played, such as audio or video.
CD or DVD disc is dirty.
The driver may be corrupted or outdated.
Windows does not detect the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
Recording or copying CDs is difficult or impossible.
Cause
Media installed upside down.
Media is dirty or damaged.
Media already has recorded content.
Wrong drive is being used.
Solution
Turn off the computer and insert a thin metal rod into the
emergency eject hole and push firmly. Slowly pull the tray out
from the drive until the tray is fully extended, then remove
the disc.
Turn on your PC, and press the Eject button nearest the drive
to open the tray. If you suspect a problem with the actual Eject
button:
1.
Click Start and then Computer.
2.
Right-click the CD or DVD drive you want to open.
3.
Select Eject from the menu.
Solution
Re-insert the media with the label facing up.
Wait at least 30 seconds to let the DVD-ROM drive determine
the type of media being played. If the disc still does not start,
read the other solutions listed for this topic.
Clean CD or DVD with a CD cleaning kit, available from most
computer stores.

1.
Use Device Manager to remove or uninstall the device.
2.
Restart the computer and let Windows detect the CD or
DVD driver.
Solution
Ensure the disc is inserted with the label facing up and
centered in the tray.
Make sure the disc is clean and undamaged. If recording
stopped during a recording session, the disc may be
damaged; use a different disc.
When using a CD-R disc, make sure that it is blank when
recording music and is blank or appendable (with space to
add more data files) when recording data.
Make sure the disc is in the correct drive and you specify the
same drive in the CD or DVD recording software.
