Generally, attempting to force a frozen CD-ROM drive can worsen the situation. Avoid using external power or attempting to physically manipulate the drive. However, some operating systems allow you to attempt a 'hard reset' or 'force close' through the Device Manager. Consult your operating system's documentation for instructions.
