Default old trick....

Chels,

I've never been a Mac person, but, this trick has always worked on PCs.

Get your flashlight and magnifying glass out... somewhere on the faceplate of your CD drive (probably near the eject button) there should be a small pinhole. Take a paper clip and "unfold" it to create a long straight edge. Insert the paper clip straight edge into the pin hole until it won't insert any further (it might even click at the end). This should act as a manual eject and open the CD door.

I am assuming the CD is jammed and you can't eject it out???
