Sorry to harp so much on the quality of the disks... it's just that at the time, I had two drives go bad on the same day and I lost like... a semester's worth of college work on them!But back to the topic, I mentioned the dead drive because it's the same thing that happened on mine. Even the paper clip wouldn't eject them in the end because an internal part of the drive is made of cheap plastic, and it breaks. And it's the part that tells the  drive mechanism that media is inserted!Therefore, the drive doesn't know there's a disk, so it doesn't actuate the head and read it, and the mechanical part that locks into place that can eject the disk isn't in place... so it can't eject it! It's frustrating!</blockquote>
