well that's good to hear.well done :D

interesting - my dad had almost the exact same problem with one of his drives - it turns out the the mechanism hadnt closed quite right so the drive thought it was jammed, nothing would open the drawer except the pinhole. what i had to do was forcibly eject the drive via the pinhole then close the drive fast enough by hand to make it engage. it worked fine from then on.

this is like you diver
buy my CDR drive will only open fast when i have a CD in it
when there is a CD it
when there is no cd in the drive it do open good

i used to have a windows 95 comp that would only open the cd drive if you turned the comp on and off
and the computer I'm using now used to have a screwed up cd drive
wouldn't play some computer games, wouldn't reconize them
the light jsut kept flashing, so wee got a new one
