DVD drive stopped reading the disc
So I looked dvd movies on my laptop forever and then today when I changed the discs, he wouldn't play the next I put it. He just stopped suddenly.

eject the disc from the drive USB Super
Last night I unboxed my new USB Super drive and attached to my MacBookPro. I put in a DVD of registered film and was able to start playing. Then I ejected it by clicking on the disc icon on the desktop, because I was just testing how it connected etc... Then, I wanted to see if he could save.
I inserted a blank DVD and he asked me to tell him what to save, but I didn't save. Instead, he presented another option, which was to IGNORE.
So I clicked on IGNORE. As a result, there was NO ICON ON THE DESKTOP for this drive. And the text to EJECT in menu bar is grey.
Now I am sitting here with a new USB Super with a blank CD disk stuck in it and am totally IGNORED, I asked, but what I didn't know when I asked to ignore me.
That's the problem. I disconnected, signed back in, and he has not yet cleared my instructions to ignore. So I can't eject the blank DVD disc.
Where should I go from here?
My MacBookPro is the retina, i7, 15 '' running ElCapitan, a model community 2015, I think. I'm not on it now, but will open it to follow the suggestions for help. I'm a new converted to Apple, computing, coming from Windows, so I need the regular basic directions. Any help is appreciated.

But when I click on update driver it says "your driver is up to date" and refuses to fix it.
Hello:
I found this link where a person fixed a similar problem with editing the registry.
Make sure that you back up all personal files you do not lose to a portable hard drive and create a restore point by using System Restore utility first, because editing the registry might cause some problems with your PC, also do not start and you have to reinstall the operating system.
