Eject Options
I'm sure many of you
have read our tips on how to eject a stuck CD from your computer, but
even after going through all those steps, are you still having trouble
getting that stubborn CD to come out? Sometimes those things can be so
frustrating and after you mess with it for awhile, you probably just feel
like throwing your whole computer out the window. Am I right? Well, before
you go that far, give these alternative tricks a try. They may be just
what you've been waiting for!
First, try adding
something to the CD. If you put an extra file or another song on it, that
might be enough to coax it out. Also, when you're using a CD, make sure
you eject it before you start up another program. If you leave the CD
in its tray while you use other programs, it could cause some problems.
Another thing to try is a simple reboot. Sometimes when you shut down
your computer and then turn it back on, the CD will eject.
Now, while all of
those are good suggestions, they still might not work for you. So, if
that's the case, you may want to try those other tips I mentioned in the
first paragraph. One of them tells you to try the traditional method of
right clicking your CD drive and choosing Eject. I know this is the problem
you're having, but if you try it more than once, it could finally open.
You never know! The other tip we have tells you how to use a paperclip
to get your CD out. You can read all about that here.
Either way you go, I hope you are finally able to get your CD out so you
can enjoy your life in happy CD bliss once again!
