Usually there is a pinhole into which you can shove a pin and this forces Eject. I am not familiar with this particular config so it might have one, but I have 3 CDs and DVDs here and they all have it.

He bought this PC at an estate sale and didn't know any passwords. After a couple of questions I determined it was the bios password and so that was a quick fix but since he had to drop it off I'd check it over for him while I was at it. Poor dude just bought a Compaq Presario with a Pentium (1), 32MB of RAM, 6GB HD and WIndows 95. The things is built like a tank though and runs quite well. My problem is that it has a CD Drive without a tray and the bugger won't cough up one of my CDs! It worked with other CDs before this one. Of course with a tray system they have the little hole where you can manually open the tray. But I have no idea how to manually eject this thing. Any Ideas?
