URGENT: Cd drive broken?

Well, I wrote a CD in iTunes last night and it seemed to force it out a bit much, but obviously I thought nothing of it.

Now, today I go to put a cd back in to listen to it, (it was the same cd), and it just wont let me push it in. It's very bizarre. It feels likes theres kind of a block stopping it going in more than halfway. In fact, it cant even get that far in.

Anyone got any ideas of how I could fix this, and what might have happened?

Thanks for anything,
Ben

there isn't already a cd in the drive? maybe someone else was using it and put it in.

Nope, I did think that might be the case, but the cd goes in too far for there to be another cd in there.
Also, I went into the disk utility and it didnt show up so I'm guessing that there's nothing in there.

Try rebooting and hold down the (left) mouse button when you hear the chime.
That will eject any disks that might be in the drive.
