I've ran into a strange issue with my install. It seems that my DVD-Rom drive won't eject after I've used it once. That is, after start up or a reboot if I eject and put a new DVD/CD in or if there's already one in there and I access it. I can't eject it from the drive. If I use the eject icon on the menu bar, finder locks up (well, I can still access the left side of the menu bar. I get a beach ball on the desktop and on the left side of the menu bar) and the button remains blue. If I press and old F12 it shows the eject HUD but does nothing. Dragging the DVD/CD from the desktop to the trash or using the eject icon next to it in finder also does nothing. However, if I leave the drive empty I can open and close it whenever I please.

Also, once I try to eject it and attempt to look at System Profiler's "ATA" section the program forever 'works' and never comes up with anything, and if I attempt to restart it does nothing at all.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

My drive is a NEC DVD-RW ND-2500A and I'm running a Nforce 4-4X board (ECS NFORCE4M-A).

EDIT: My other IDE HDD was causing the screw up. Apparently, this DVD-Rom must be the only thing on the IDE Channel.
