Vista - DVD Drive problem

06-09-2008

When I insert a CD or DVD into one of my two drives, it will play but I
can't get it to eject. The physical drive button doesn't do it, and if I
right click on the drive letter and try "eject" I get an error message. The
only way is to physically insert something in the hole, or reboot.

Any thoughts?

Last time that happened to me - a DVD burner - fiddled around with it
for a short while and decided to just replace the drive.

$35 from Newegg with free shipping. Worth it.

If this doesn't work do what Nonny said.
