push a paperclip into the small hole in the front of the drive to release the cupholder.
Your cd rom drive is probally finished. If you really want that thing out of there, usually there is a small hole for a paperclip.
However, the power connector to your cd rom drive might have come lose. Do that before you tear apart that drive. Open your computer up and check the Power connector on the drive, its a molex connector with like 4 prongs. Should be right next to the EIDE OR SCSI RIBBON,(note eide or scsi ribbons are huge compared to the molex),

Turn off the computer before you do that....
Reboot the computer, this should clear the cd-writing process and allow you to open the drive.
