Does the drive even show up?  Should be at least a D in addition to the C drive.   Device manager should list the drive.  Any error indications in the Device Manager.  If the drive shows up select it and click on eject. 

 

CD drives are slowly disappearing especially from laptops.  Is is as if the manufacturers think they are only good for cup holders.

 

Is this one those slot DVDs?  I had a real problem with a vertical slot DVD as it did not hold the CD properly.  The bracket holding in the player pressed to tight against it.
