I was putting in this disc into my computer(Vista). It was a small disc, and it was made for the computer. The disc somehow slipped out of the holder thing and instead of falling onto the ground, fell inside the computer. Is there anyway to get it out without hiring a profesional?

The CD drive/reader. I wouldn't recommend trying to remove/open it, though.


*Cough*

If there is a little hole on the front of the drive, you can insert something in it which will cause the drive to open unless it is physically jammed.

The CD slipped through the disc tray into the actual drive, knight.

That's abysmal. I must be inattentive.

Well, you could unplug the drive and open it if you were experienced.

You'll need professional help.

Can you give me a guestimated price?

I can't because I don't live in the United States. Though if I had this problem right now, I could get help for free because a friend of mine could help me.

At best buy, apparently software repair starts at around $199 and hardware repair at $29.

I don't even live in Britain.

I am staying in the Philippines right now, though I was born in New Zealand.
