Rom Wont Eject

[Cdizzle]

sometimes the computer "locks" cd drives so that you cant eject it. does this happen only when theres a cd in the drive? or even when there isnt?

That is a good question, now that I think about it, it is only when there is a cd in it...

mine wouldnt eject and i just restarted my pc and it worked

That is the only time I can get it to eject when it gets stuck... Is when I restart...

meh ive done it with the computer on. i could care less if my drive breaks. its only like a $50 drive, wont break the bank getting a new one lol.

also i usually create images of all my cds/dvds so i dont waste time using the drive, just run it off an image drive faster.

but thats a different story

try installing that, and the next time it locks up on you, go into your taskbar trash for your drive, right click > preferences > click on your drives tab up top > and see if the "lock the drive's door" box is checked. if it is, just uncheck it and eject.
