My cd burner died, cd still inside, help

My PC died and it still has my w98 cd inside.
I took the pc apart, kept the parts.

I have a laptop now.
How do I get the tray to open when its not installed in a pc?

thanks

There is usually a pinhole in the front panel that you can push a paper clip into to manually eject the tray.

there should be a little hole in the front of the drive. simply stick a paper clip or piece of wire into the hole and give it a firm push. the drive should open.
