I've had this happen a couple times. I think what i did was just replace the drive, as callandor suggested.

Broken sensor would make sense (unintentional subtle pun!). but I was hoping for a simple solution via the desktop.. I misjudged a shelf allowance and the tray was bumped upwards slightly on its excurtion. Didn`t realise they are so fragile. <br />

It might seem I have a pretty sick PC owing to recent problems.. Actually I have 2nd PC jusy built which tends to multiply my current concerns. <br />
It seems I accidentally selected a wrong installation CD from the pile which didn`t correspond to the MS Wizard panel details for installation on booting-up and the DVD/CD Rewriter draw rejected it immediately. Unfortunately the drawer will not stay closed. It will close for a few seconds when pressing the button - then re-open. On re-boot the drawer will close, but again re-opened. I tried putting a DVD in, but it just rejected it immediately remaining stuck out like a sore thumb and equally limiting!<br />
How do I fix this? Thanks - Longlife<br />

DVD/CD Rewriter drawer returns to open.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
