Hi,
I have been listening (and ripping) a couple of CDs I was given as presents yesterday. They both claim to be copy protected, but both seem happy enough in my machine. They both played fine, but failed to eject.
I did a power reset and they would still not eject, so I used a trusty paper clip and opened the drawers to extract the discs.
Odd thing is that neither drive will open at all.
Okay, that seems strange, but I've noticed this before. If I start my machine without a zip disc in the drive, the drive never mounts the disc when I put one in. If I start the machine with a disc in the drive, it won't read or unmount it.
Anyone else seeing this and if they are, how do I fix the problem?
TTFN

If its one of the Windows booby trap ones then HAL may well have decided it is a disk and mounted it, that migh texplain the lack of eject ?

Be aware that several CD and DVD drive vendors treat copy protected discs as a warranty invalidating event..
