This is the issue with your CD/DVD Drive. Better you change the hardware. Other wise take one pin and push in the hole which you can see in CD/DVD drive. That time the tray will open.

Cd drive door won't stay shut

This is an indication that the CD-drive is detecting that the inserted disk is not FULLY inserted.
If it is fully inserted, and it is mis-reporting the condition, then spend $35 to purchase a replacement CD/DVD reader/writer.

Cd withthe writer

Hi!

You can use a 3rd party software to burn any data to a CD or DVD. You can use softwares like Nero, Roxio, etc. They usually have user friendly utility on how to burn files.

If you do not have any 3rd party burning software, you can use the built in utility from XP or Vista.

You just need to right click the files or folders you want to burn > select Send To > CD/DVD. Make sure you have a blank CD or DVD inserted.

Have a nice day!
