    Getting the following Error Message while ejecting the dvd drive from my computer

    "save any open files on this disc, and then close the files or programs using the files before ejecting the disc"

    The eject works fine when performed manually.

    My Nero also does not detect the Drive as a result I am unable to burn anything

    Please help !!!!

    OS details, brand, mod number of computer along with burner drive details would help.
    Have you removed or installed any new drivers/software or Win updates?

    a) go to Dell Diagnostics (F12 when in BIOS screen, go down to the diagnostic option)
    b) get ubuntu on a live USB drive (most of your hardware including the DVD drive should be detected... burn something in ubuntu, 0try to see if it's a hardware error or software error
