This might not be the best answer, but most cd's have
a hole in front which you can insert a paper clip and
force the cd outside. Do this when all other things
have failed, ie,
# umount /dev/hdc
# umount /dev/hdd
# eject /dev/hdc
# eject /dev/hdd
Shutdown and restart computer and when computer is
starting press cd switch to eject and take out.
Hope this helps
Antonio
