If you open the drive look at the lower front left hand side and you
might see a white plastic piece that is curves in, try pushing it with a
small screwdriver and see if this ejects the draw. It's the piece you
actuallt push in when you push a paper clip in on a CD / DVD drive.
I noticed this whilst replacing the DVD drive on my LiteOn DVD / HDD
recorder, it was very handy when the mechanism stuck on the casing :-)
