When I try to copy a Music cd, it stops at 47% of the way (about the time the
disk is done being read). At the bottom it says "idle" under its current
function. When I try to eject the cd/dvd burner driver (my primary drive) it
doesn't respond. When I right click the drive folder in my computer, and hit
eject, nothing happens. So the problem is obviously not the button. Also,
my other DVD drive opens and closes fine, during the time my primary drive
(with the audio cd still in it) won't open. However, it will play the music
in Windows Media Player. It still won't open even after I end the Nero
Process. I know I am using Nero, I believe it's version 6. Perhaps this is
conflicting with RU2, or other updates I have downloaded recently? A while
back CD copying was a snap. I really believe it's cause the computer
"thinks" the CD is being "used". This is probably an easy fix, the right
person just needs to read this post and let me know. Microsoft personell,
your responses are always welcome :)

Thanks. I look forward to your responses.

I don't know about your other problems, but I can certainly tell you how to
open your CD drive. On every modern CD drive I've ever seen, there's a tiny
hole above or below the drawer. Unfold the end of a paperclip and stick it
in the hole... It should pop right open...
