I have a recurring problem with my CD/DVD burner. After burning a few CDs I find that my Lenovo 3000 DESKTOP (Vista Business) does not accept the fact that there is a blank CD in the burner. not only that, but pressing Eject has no effect. The Lenovo doesn't have the usual tiny hole beside the tray so the only way to overcome the problem is to turn of the computer and do a cold boot. SOMETIMES I have to do this a couple of times. I have run various registry repairers and defragmenters without success.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem permanently? My drivers are up to date.I replied on the other FORUM, you posted very same question.Unfortunately I can't remember which forum you replied in! Despite the advice I received the problem persists.One of these may help:
1. UNINSTALL the drive through Device Manager.
Restart computer. The drive will be automatically reinstalled.
or...
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Restart computer.
or...
3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.
or...
4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.Sorry Broni,

I found you other reply and will try your suggestions.

Thanks for your help.
