In keeping with Scott's line of stupid questions ;-) I have my own...
does your Dell have the eject hotbutton at the top of the keyboard?
The Alienware I mentioned before that has the same kind of drive setup
(the slot load deal) had an eject button next to all the hot buttons
at the top (where the media play, wireless on/off, etc are) and the
only time I've run into where the OS eject command or the eject disk
option from context menus failed, holding pressure on that eject
button worked.

It even works during startup (the POST phase) once things start coming online.

Probably won't help you, but it's worth a shot.

Beyond that, you'll probably have to remove the drive. I know on mine,
it's not too hard to get to the drive behind the slot... just a couple
screws, IIRC. It was made to be easily removable so you could swap it
out later for the Blue-ray burner.

HTH, and good luck!
