If you hear the drive trying to eject and it wont, then conventional methods of ejecting might not work. You might have to open your machine and physically remove the CD. Pick the exact model of your machine here and chose any repair manual that'll help you get inside the machine, preferably a manual for the optical drive. Good luck
