Alienware X51 BD/DVD ROM drive does not accept mini-CD formats.
I have a few mini-CDs and mini-DVD discs, which I've always been able to use in regular CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. The slot loading drive on my X51 wont take anything other than regular sized discs.
And as others have mentioned, when it ejects a disc, it launches it out. If i'm not by the system to catch it, I must pick the disc off the floor. My system is in its vertical position.

I'm not an authority on this or anything, but as a long-time Mac user, Apple has been using slot-load optical drives long before anyone else in the computer industry and I believe that only standard full size optical disc media can be used with them.
As far as the disc eject issue, Dell-Chris M posted this to another thread:

Most slot loading players can't play a mini disc. I can't even think of one off hand other then a PS3. You should try to move the files over to another format like a normal DVD or maybe an external drive.
