How to remove a CD/DVD when the disc tray will not open
Pressing the eject button will not open the disc tray when the computer is 
turned off although, in these circumstances, you can open the tray by 
inserting a slender object such as a straightened paper clip about 15mm 
into the eject hole just to the right of the drive's eject button.

The optical drive installed on this computer cannot write multiple sessions 
on DVD-R Dual Layer disc sessions. Once a disc has been written to once, 
it will be finalized. Once finalized, no further writing to the disc will be 
possible regardless of what portion of the total disc capacity was used.
