Burner won't eject. I tried button, right click command, and restarting my computer. It has been stuck before but it usually opened after restarting.
I can hear it trying to open. It is empty so nothing stuck in it.
You will find a small hole on the face of the drive. This is the manual eject mechanism. Insert any wire-like object (a properly sized size paper clip works real well) and push until the disk ejects.
Note: Many times the mechanism is recessed quite far behind the face plate, so make sure the object you use is long enough (again, paper clip).

Philips CD-RW / DVD will not burn data from my computer. I have a computer virus, need to save 3 years of info before I can delete everything and start over. SCB5265 TD17 is the info needed, I was told by your help files. The cdrw continues to say that disk is not available or that one needs to be inserted.....it IS inserted! Or when I get to a point of trying to burn it tells me that I need some sort expandable or extendable medium?
