Many drives have a small hole, where you can insert a piece of stiff
wire, to force an eject.
They sell those stiff wires in a nice convenient bent over shape. You
just unbend it and stick in the hole with a little bit of force.
They can even multi-task as paperclips, but I rarely use them for that.
