Take a paper clip, straighten it out. There should be a lil hole on the drive. Poke it in there slowly and push. The drive should come out a bit. Gently pull it open.

Have you got an XP cd? Boot from this and do a repair installation. It will check for missing files and replace them

Call the Lexmark tech support and have them give you the cd. I am sure they can give you the technical support you need.

There should be a small hole somewhere on your CD ROM. Put something like a paperclip in it and it will open.

Open the CD Drive drawer.  if you do not see an indent, where the small CD will fit, then you can figure that your CD drive won't read it.   There also isn't anything that will hold the CD in place.   \n\nUse a straightened out paper clip and insert it in the tiny hole in the front.  Push straight and the drive will come open.\n\nGood luck

Try to see if there is some LED (on its front panel) activity. if LED doesn't lit, it seems you've got a dead drive. you could also try to insert a paper clip (straightened) in the manual opening hole, but I don't think this will help, as the tray is already open...\npossible causes: burned tray motor or its driver IC/transistors; fvcked-up gears; power cable not full inserted in its socket; data cable loose (unlikely); close button malfunction (dead/broke).\nif it's only a CD ROM drive, it can be real cheap (less than 20 US$), but if it's a DVD or writer... you can raise up to 120 or more.\n\nMy advice? if nothing works, even if you don't feel comfortable about this, go to your father and tell him. he will understand and appreciate your honesty. and for crying out loud, rest assured he knows things broke eventually. maybe he can replace the $hit drive if it's in warranty.

Remove the computer case.  Remove screws attached to bad CD-drive.  Disconnect wires.  Slide bad CD-ROM out the front of the computer case.  Slide new CD-ROM in exact same spot, replace screws and wires, and boot up the computer.  If you are adding a cd-rom to an open bay, instead of replacing an existing drive, just remove the front faceplate for the open bay, and install the same way.

Make sure your drivers are updated, make sure the CD is clean, make sure the media is good, try another cd, buy a new CD.\n\nSorry, I wish I could be more help.

There should be a small hole in the front. Insert a paperclip (opened) gently to open the drawer. This will open it. If it continues to have this problem have a technician open the case and confirm that the power is firmly attached, otherwise have the drive replaced.

try NERO, if that don't work then I suggest a problem with your burner, even though it can read a cd it could still be broken

Can you add a little more info?\n\nIs D a CD&#92;DVD drive? Another partition on your hard drive partition?  Another hard drive itself?\n\nAs cliched as it sounds, if you are running a Windows system, rebooting may repair.
