So, i took out my BF2 CD (omigosh!) to play another game the other day, but now i can't eject the actual CD drive part of it. Even when i go to "My Computer" and right click it and hit 'eject' it just tries to come out twice and hits something i think, but it won't open.

Now i tried opening the case and moving the box around to see if that would fix it but it didn't, so i think i may have to open the actual CD box, but since i've never done it before i want to make sure i do it right. Or maybe i dont' need to do that? idk

any ideas?

Find a screwdriver and try and open it by just using it as a lever.

Pry it up when it comes out.

turn the PC off, stick a straightened paper clip into the little ejection hole

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

This would be the safest way. The cd's drives were made with that little hole for a purpose. A screwdriver, crowbar would be your second option.

It wasn't spam, they were practical ideas.
