Use a paper clip on stuck disk

Sometime you can have a DVD stuck in your computer's drive and it will not eject using traditional methods.
In some cases,all you need to ease open the drive is a paper clip,unfolded.
If you have a computer with a tray-loading CD or DVD drive, look for a small round hole on the door of the drive,then gently push the end of the paper clip through the hole until you hit the internal latch to pop open the drive door.
You may have to adjust the angle of your paper clip while poking.If the door is moving slowly,ease it out and do not yank on it.
If you have a Mac that lacks a hole in the drive door,restart the computer and hold down the mouse button as the machine boots up.
