Jammed Disc

I put a DVD disc into my drive E - DVD ROM and it jammed. It is constantly running and my computer now says I have no E drive. It will not eject. I have tried Device Manager ( E drive not listed) & shutting down the PC but the drive still runs and refuses to eject. Is there anything else I can do?

straighten a paper clip, insert into small hole located on the front of the drive, & push firmly to release the drawer

Thank you very much. I am new to computers - trying to keep up with the grandkids. When things go wrong my old brain closes down. Thank goodness there are people like you who can help! Most grateful. Robert Cubin

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
