I have a tp 600x and have had no problem with the drive. What exactly is going on. It would be helpful if you gave a more exact desctiption.

With the cdrom drive in try the following command

Code:

eject /dev/cdrom


The /dev/cdrom might also be /dev/hdc. Check your /dev folder.

Lets see if we can at least narrow the problem down
