CD stuck on M18x Alienware

Have you given this a try?

Thank you for the suggestion. I actually tried something I found on another site - push the Eject button on the keyboard while the computer rebooted/restarted, and it worked. Now I'm dealing with a Code 19 error for my driver.

Hello Murquia_2000,

There are few steps I would suggest which might help us in fixing the issue. Try the following steps: 

Note: Please perform a full system backup first.

1.    Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.

2.    Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.

3.    In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4.    Click Yes, to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5.    In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6.    Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7.    Exit Registry Editor, restart the computer and check if it works then.

Hope this helps!
