I think he was suggesting pushing the release button on the DVD drive, rather 
than the "reset" button.  Both of the drives on the box in front of me now (a 
Yamaha DVD drive and an HP CD-rewriter drive) have small holes just under the 
drawer which, if prodded, open the drawer.  I have, on occasion, had to 
resort to the release button when I've done something silly, and then 
un-mounted the non-existant disk.  Perhaps not the ideal way to deal with the 
problem, but effective!
