Hi, look on the F key row and look for an icon that looks like a cd drawer, now press and hold down your Fn Key and the corresponding F key and the cdrom should pop out, another thing to try is to look for a small hole on the cd draw , small enough for a paper clip to fit in it if straightened, if you see on, straighten a paperclip and insert it, it will manually release the cd tray

good luck!

Press "inward" gently against the CD drive cover, if there is no eject button on it or next to it on the body of the computer.
The drive should pop open and allow you to remove the CD.
Failing that, click open the computer icon. The CD drive should be one of the drives showing in the window.
Right click, using your mouse, on the CD drive icon.
One of the options in the pop up window will say Eject.
Click on it. The drive should open and allow you to remove the CD.

The disc drive on my acer Aspire 5742G will not read any music cd's or dvds. I makes plenty of noise as though it is trying to open it but nothing!

The CD/DVD drive may need reseating to make proper electrical connection. Remove this drive and insert it back into the laptop.
Next try cleanibg the drive.
The laser lens maybe dirty, use a CD/DVD lens cleaning kit to clean the lens int the drive.
If this does not fix your problem then the CD/DVD drive is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Need to reset acer aspire 1200 desktop

The Aspire One is a netbook produced by Acer; it does not come equipped with a CD ROM drive, so a traditional hard drive reformat and Windows reinstallation is not possible without a peripheral storage device. An external USB CD or flash drive will suffice, however.Difficulty:Moderate

Instructions

- 1 Plug in the external CD drive, then turn on your netbook and let it boot to your operating system.
- 2 Open your web browser and go to the BootDisk website (see link in Resources). Download the Windows XP Fresh Install Bootable CD, then burn these files to a blank CD via your external CD drive.
- 3 Ensure the files have burned to your bootable CD, then restart the netbook with the CD still in the drive.
- 4 The netbook should boot to the CD upon the restart. Follow the instructions prompted for installation. Upon completion you will have a clean installation of Windows XP on your Acer Aspire One.

I have no ides how to reset the laptop as someone has taken everythin off the laptop the laptop is a acer 5315 really need some help cant even get the disk drive to open

Take a Norwegian paper-clip, and straighten one end.
Insert that end into the small hole in the faceplate of the CD-drive,
and push until you feel resistance.
Then, push another 1/4 inch (6 mm) to "unlock" the drawer.
Then, push the open/close button, and the motors should push the tray completely open.

Then, insert the original Acer "System Restore" CD, close the tray, and restart your computer. Tell it to boot from the CD.
When it does, it will start to reinstall Windows.

Well we have a acer computer and the cd drive is stuck

If pressing the eject button does not eject the tray, look for the small pin hole on the cd drive and insert a paper clip to press that hole. It would manually eject your CD tray. Hope this helps.
