Hi CBR,
Is there anything by roxio running? Check with the ctrl-alt-del keypress. If not, just shut down the system, and use a paper clip thru the little hole in the front of the CD drive to open it up and remove the CD. Try again, and post the results. TwoRails |

Rebooting will usually unlock the drive - reboot into safe mode if it's still locked.
No need to format cdr's - formatting is for cd-rewritables to use them like a giant floppy disk. |

No, do not unplug and replug the power cable to the drive or any other components while the computer is powered on! This is not a good thing to do.

That was just a safety precaution.... Some people do take things quite literally, and a lot of people read threads that don't post to them.
