[X Newbies] disk drive won't accept CD

[Jennifer Thomas]

Sorry about that,
I'm not sure what you mean by the "drive tray won't close", but what's 
happening is
I can put the CD part way in the slot, but it doesn't "give".  The slot 
doesn't suck it in.
So in order to get it into the drive, I would have to force it.

Does that help?  I don't have the vocabulary for this stuff.

Thanks,
J.
