Well... it is...

I put an already writen on CD-R into my iBook.

First the drive tried to recognize the disk, then apparently failed. And since it doesnt think that there is actually a disk in the drive, it will not eject when I hold down f12...

How would I go about in getting the disk out?

restart while holding down the mouse, or left click if you use a 2 button mouse.
