[cite] naquaada:[/cite]You can't eject it from the drive itself, that's normal. If the drive is Slave, try holding Windows+F12. If it's still not working it could be that a file from the disk is still in use by another program, f.e. a movie is still opened in Quicktime or something like that MacOS will lock the media. Try logging out and log in again, that should solve the problem in most cases. But it's also possible that a disc is defective in shuch a way that it won't eject it, in that case you have to switch off the computer and try to eject it at the early start or use a pin in the little hole for a mechanical eject.

Sadly, the discs aren't defective. They work perfectly fine when I use them in my MacBook Pro. However, it could be that the program is still in use. Unfortunately, it doesn't show in Activity Monitor. Logging out doesn't work since it freezes after I attempt it. I'm not 100% sure what's causing it as I can burn and read discs fine. It's just after I burn or use a disc ONCE it freezes. System Profiler AND Disk Utility BOTH 'freeze' as if they're waiting for the drive.
