How to remove a CD/DVD when the disc tray will not open

Pressing the eject button will not open the disc tray when the computer is turned off although, in these circumstances, you can open the tray by inserting a slender object such as a straightened paper clip about 15mm into the eject hole just to the right of the drive's eject button.

Writing CD/DVD on DVD Super Multi drives

The optical drive installed on this computer cannot write multiple sessions on DVD-R Dual Layer disc sessions. Once a disc has been written to once, it will be finalized. Once finalized, no further writing to the disc will be possible regardless of what portion of the total disc capacity was used.
