If Something Goes Wrong
Optical disc drive problems
Your data files are damaged or corrupted.
Refer to your software documentation for file recovery procedures. 
Many software packages automatically create backup files.
You may also be able to recover lost data using utility software. 
Consult your network administrator.
Some applications run correctly but others do not.
This is probably a configuration problem. If an application does not 
run properly, refer to its documentation and check that the hardware 
configuration meets its needs.
Optical disc drive problems
You cannot access a disc in the drive.
If the optical disc drive is an external drive, make sure the two USB 
cables or the AC adaptor cable are properly connected to the 
computer and refer to the documentation that came with your drive.
Make sure the tray that holds the optical disc is closed properly. 
Press gently until it clicks into place.
Open the tray and remove the disc. Make sure the tray is clean. Any 
dirt or foreign object can interfere with the laser beam.
Examine the disc to see if it is dirty. If necessary, wipe it with a 
clean cloth dipped in water or a neutral cleaner.
Replace the disc in the tray. Make sure that the disc is lying flat 
against the tray, label side up. Close the tray carefully, making sure 
it has shut completely.
You press the disc eject button, but the drive tray does not 
slide out.
Make sure the computer is connected to a power source and turned 
on. The optical disc drive eject mechanism requires power to 
operate.
Make sure an application is not accessing the drive and preventing 
it from ejecting.
If you need to remove a disc and cannot turn on the computer (for 
example, if the battery is completely discharged), use a narrow 
object, such as a straightened paper clip, to press the manual eject 
button. This button is in the small hole next to the optical disc drive 
eject button on the face of the optical disc drive tray.
