did you try opening it with a paper clip?  (there's a small hole on it, if you unbend a paper clip and stick it in there there's a button or something that it hits that will usually make it open)\n\ndo the cds work after it gets stuck?\n\nbut i really have no idea why it would do that.

You may have damaged your computer by shutting it down improperly.  You must always use the Start &#92; Turn Off Computer, etc. routine to shut it down.  If you still have the original Windows CDs, you could try repairing the system but I'm not a technician.\n\nGood luck!

Hi, I would try the following...\n\n1. Delete mso cache\n2. Turn off antivirus software\n3. Open the drive by exploring it and then drag the entire contents of the disk to your desktop(should take a little while).(may want to put it in its own folder)\n4. Run setup.exe or autorun from your desktop instead of pulling it from the cd drive.\n5. Use custom setup and choose which apps you want. Don't use auto full install.\n\nedit perhaps and let us know if it worked.\n\nhope that helps\nNigel\n\n\nEdit: It seems, based on your error, that the installer is looking in the wrong place for the file.\n\nMost people get a CRC error if the disk is bad.  Sounds like a bug in winpoop.  That is all I could dig up on the matter.\n\nOn side note, it happens quite often to folks.

There is a small pin hole on the front side of the CD drive below the tray. Insert a paper clip that has been straightened and press it hard. Hopefully it should open. If not the only other way is to disconnect the drive and then unscrew the covers and slowly try and lift the lever which locks the tray and then lift and push the tray out.But before you do all this try and first reboot the system just to see if the CD can be ejected.

Hmm, it would seem that you tried to do something to a disk drive that doesn't exist.\n\nIf you're trying to do something with your floppy drive, that's the A:/ drive.  Your main hard drive is usually C:/ and your cd drive is either d:/ or e:/

Are you just pulling it out or are you removing it properly? With those kind of devices usually you need to do something to tell the operating system you're about to remove the thing, if you don't do that, odd things can happen...\n\nAssuming you're using a recent version of windows, look in the little task bar in the bottom right corner by the clock. When the thumb drive is plugged in, you should see a little icon appear there (I think it's grey with a green arrow on). Double click on it and a little window should appear that gives you the option to Stop the device, if you do that before pulling the drive you shouldn't get any problems...

Have you tried running a Cleaning CD through your drive - it looks like an ordinary CD with a spiral of tiny brushes on it, some have music tracks to make it play for a few seconds, if it hasn't simply inserting it a couple of times will do the trick.

This is a common problem with people that "push" the CD drawer shut with their hand in stead of closing it with the button or via the computer. This causes a so called "over run" on the gear train. You can try the little hole to release the drawer or you may have to take it out, take the top off and re-seat the basket on the gear train.

ah newbies :-)\n\nif you dont have anything valuable on your Disk, boot up your computer in Dos prompt or Comamnd Prompt or Safe made then open Command Prompt.\n\nWhen your in there run the command \n"Chkdsk" this will scan your C drive for errors.\n\nif it still doesnt work try "fdisk". Its another utility to help "seperate" them. \n\nIf your not comfortable playing around with your computer, start it up regualry, right click C: (or w/e hard drive) Properies tools, Check for Errors or something along those lines it should be under Defragmat. \n\nCheck "fix automatically" \nIt will say "its in use check disc next time the system rebbots"  click yes\n\nnow reboot, you can expect you computer to be doing this for at least an Hour.\n\ngood luck

If you are hearing any noise as the drive spins then it may be a disk failure.  If there is no noise then there may be hope...check the link below..scroll down to see a list of utilities that may help.  Good luck.

Sounds like a corrupted driver. Just uninstall and reinstall. If you have the CD, insert it and you can uninstall from the cd. Then reinstall.

do a cold boot (switch off completely, count 10 for the hard disk to stop, then switch on again)\n\nif that dont fix it have you just installed new software\n\nif you aint then do a system restore (Start/help and support/pick a task/system restore)

Relax.  When you open the tray you will see that there is a smaller 'inset' to accommodate the mini-CD.  It will rest inside this recess.  When you eject the disk, it will still be there.  \nWARNING; do not use mini-CDs in frontloading car stereos!
