CD drive won't open

[Jeremy Rosenblum]

I just put a wii game in my disk drive, and was hoping to create an iso file out of it to play on an emulator. After I put the game in, I decided to eject it and clean it a bit before making the iso file. Now for some reason the drive won't eject. It was literally just working but now after putting in the game it won't. I tried ejecting it from "My computer" but I just get an error saying "An error occured while ejecting CD drive E" Also, the paper clip in the hole didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried the paper clip in the hole with the power off? It's a mechanical release, but if the computer was still trying to read it, it might immediately re-close the drive before you could tell the paperclip had any effect.
