Man I am glad it worked out for you, I faced the same thing before but the CD didn't want to eject neither in Windows nor Macintosh OS X. There was a little trick that I didn't know about but as they always say "Google is your friend".
I had to get a sharp tool and force push that little black thing (which I thought was the infrared port but ehhh)
But I also had to cut those "flaps" or whatever they are called
Long journey. lol
