You can somehow pry open the CD door manually..... Or you could just hook it up using a UPS or something.

There is a little hole infront of the cd-drive where you can stick a pin-size stick or a paper clip to manually eject it. It shouldn't be hard to find, it's pretty much on all cd-drives.

yes ive had that problem also, my best friend: flathead screwdriver. till i nocited that my cd drive's motor was really weak, just unscrew the top like a case, and you should be able to get it out.

I have never noticed that before.

The hole is only on older CD drives, not the newer ones. My 4x-came-with-my-486-machine-CD drive has one.

Don't know what Cd-drive you have but it should be on all CD-drives. I don't know if Macs have those holes.

My new Memorex dvd/cd-rw combo (52x-32x-52x-16x) has one.
