i have restarted the pc many times, and reset the cmos, still doesnt eject. i highly doubt it may have dropped dead. P4 3.2GHZ kingstone 1GB DDR 3200 ABIT AS8 mobo Nvidia geforce 6800 128mb Soundblaster 24-bit audigy 2 520W PSU

i just checked the bios, the bios can detect the hardware, it shows combo 52x16c. if it can be deteced then the dvd rom isnt dead. it just cant eject. P4 3.2GHZ kingstone 1GB DDR 3200 ABIT AS8 mobo Nvidia geforce 6800 128mb Soundblaster 24-bit audigy 2 520W PSU

It's broke.

I have a cdr-rw and it was not detected bad till it crunched and even now while waiting for new part in my control panel says it is working fine but you can't put a cd in it that is when I get bad block and shows nothing on the disk & I have been getting errors for a week unspecified ones one time drivers, next time memory, next time something else but nothing about hardware problems.

There is a small hole in the front of the drive. Insert (push) a straightened paperclip into the hole and that should eject the tray. Then try it again. If it still won't work, get a new one.
