Laptop cd drive won't eject
I've just tried to install Flight Sim onto the laptop however when it gets to 30-odd % done and asks for CD 2, the disk drive won't eject for me to insert the next disk in!
I thought of copying files onto hard drive and pointing installation to there, but MS in all their wisdom has blocked it - it's CD only.
I've tried going into My Computer and right-clicking to eject, but nothing there either. After cancelling installation, it still won't eject until after reboot.
Any advice?

Haven't got a lappy handy to see if they have the same facility, but normal CDROMs can be made to eject a disc manually by inserting a straightened paper clip or similar into the little pinhole found just underneath the tray.
