Are you using any software that _might_ be trying to access the drive?
I am thinking particularly about backup or file burning software that
you are using with a different optical (or tape) drive. I have found
that both Backup MyPC and RecordNow Deluxe sometime leave my DVD R/W
drive's opening mechanism in a non-responsive state - usually cured by
rerunning the offeding proigram, opening and closing the drive from
within it, and then exiting from the program.
