I went to put in a cd in my CD rom drive today and it fell out before the door got closed.I let the door go ahead and close. Now I can't get the door to open. I don't think it is physically stuck.. Any ideas???? I have rebooted several times

Power off the PC.
Get yourself a paperclip and straighten out one end. On your CD drive there should be a small hole near the eject button. Insert the paperclip in this hole and firmly push inward. The CD drive tray should pop out. Remove your CD.
Reboot PC.
