I would like to know how to remove a cd from a Dell xps 1530 computer when it will not eject. I have had the computer for a total of 24 hours and have used it for about 8 of them so far. The cd drive loaded and ejected a grand total of three cd's before it refused to give them back after loading. The drive does try to eject them but for some reason will not, it will also print an error message to the screen telling me that it can not eject the media.

   I had some reservations about purchasing a computer with a slot load cd device for this reason. Allthough it is a nice idea mechanical things will fail and can be a pain for the user. Now, is there a way to repair this problem easily or can I replace the drive with the same model personally. The thirty minutes it would take me to replace the drive at my leasure would be better than the days of shipping a computer in for repair and then waiting for it to return.

Thanks for any help

Jeff
