Hitting it a couple times with a sledgehammer would do the trick. I highly suggest you ask your question again with more information on what you are trying to accomplish.
idk try cleaning the disk if not that then somethings wrong w/ ur laptop CD drive

You need a new CD or DVD drive first.
Hi, It sounds like your laptop is trying to detect the CD-ROM drive (the delay at start-up). After a certain amount of time, it will give up and continue to load windows. As you don't have the CD icon in windows I guess it fails to find the drive. The most likely cause is a faulty CD Drive. Removing the CD drive and re-inserting it *might* get it working again but I would bet you won't be able to get it working. If it is not easy to remove the CD Drive you can probably disable it in the laptop BIOS (google your "laptop model" and "BIOS" to find instructions). If the drive is faulty the cheapest fix is to obtain an external USB drive as Toshiba will charge a lot of a replacement part. Cheers!
When you load the CD into the drive, press the shift key. This will disable the autorun feature which makes the CD to automatically load anti copying files onto the hard drive. But you can sue the company that uses such software because they are loading files onto your computer which you do not want to install...
stick a straightened paper clip in the small hole on the faceplate..the tray should eject.
There is probably a problem with your CD drive. You need to get it fixed.
First, check to see if the CD is in good working order. If it is, there may be a problem with the CD reader of your computer.
No, you normally do not need a CD to reboot the computer. Your operating system should be located on the hard drive. However, if you do not have a functioning hard drive with a working operating system, you may need to boot your computer from a CD boot disc.
Not necessarily. You can have a CD/DVD reading drive that does not write.
the CD drive has lasers which read the CD, so the CD has pieces that can be read.
