Are you absolutely sure there is a disc in the drive?
Which model laptop?
While you're checking the model have you tried right clicking the DVD/CD Drive icon in My Computer and choosing eject? Could just be a problem with the button on the drive.
Will continue to ponder...

Just be a nutter... life becomes much more exciting, and people won't expect anything more of you...
Ok managed to get it out, was a strange one!
On hte slot where you put hte Cd in, there is like a felt/material surround to it. You will know what I mean if you look at one!
I think the problem was that for some reason the felt was getting in the way of the CD ejecting, so you would press hte eject button then it would make some noises but not eject.
To fix it I just put a small business card in hte slot just to push the felt out the way, press the eject button and the cd came out.
Was gald to get the CD out because it was Prison Break S01 part 2, which I am blitzing my way through
