I did not read the entier emails or replys. I can tell you that you can simply
try typing the following:
eject cdrom
Also, see if your cdrom has been seen by the operating system. Let me know if
the command does not work and we can move forward from there.

That is the problem.
Get a paper clip, safety pin, or thinnish hair pin, straighten a length
without any kinks or bumps. On the face of your CD drive, usually by the
led light, there is a little hole, poke the wire in this hole and press
it in. This is a manual release mechanism for such situations as yours.

No, I cannot eject the disk that's in there. That may be at least part
of the problem.
