Check your computer manual or support web site to find the emergency disk eject function and use. So do not put the drive back. :-)

DVD and CDROM will not read the disc
I recently reinstalled Vista on my PC. In the process, I put a lot of files on a DVD rom for backup. My PC is now updated and everything works fine. However, I put he disc in the drive, it will attempt to read, but no files appear on the disc. However, when I click on "computer", then "E: / (DVD rom player)" it shows who have 4 + GB of information stored on disk. How can I get these files to appear and become available?
Hi dharmapaws,
This can sometimes happen if an audio device is disabled or if windows media player is already running in the background when the disc is inserted, then you can check this.
You can also check if you are able to recover the files on another computer. If so, see if you can extract them and burn a new copy.
Hope this information is useful.
