Big problem with closing tray CD

[praca222]

I have a big problem with my CD. When I pull out the tray, my computer
wait about 1...2 secund and close it. My system is Windows XP. Is there
some possibility to set (increase) time between open and close CD? or
switch off this completely?

Are you actually *pulling* the tray out manually or are you pushing the
open/close button on the drive???

I'm pushing out the open/close button on the drive. Next I'm waiting.
Tray without my action is closing after about 3 sec.

Replace the drive. I strongly doubt windows is telling the drive to
do this. To test, hit pause during bootup and see if the drive does
the same thing.

boot to dos using a boot disk from 98 or win ME and enable CD support. if
the drive does the same thing, then the logic board is defective. You could
also check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Don't even need to go that far if your willing to open the case....

Open the case, turn the system off, and remove the ribbon cable going to the
CD drive leave the power cable plugged in.

Power up the system. Try opening the CD with the front button again. If it
closes all by itself, then either the drive is bad, or for some reason when
the drawer opens, it is feeling some resistance somewhere (just like a
garage door) and is closing because of it.

Boot with Win90 boot diskette and see if it still happens.

No need to go that far; use the pause key to pause the system before
the first screen goes away; if the problem occurs you know the drive
is done.

Or maybe the windows 87 1/2 - 5 1/4 diskette, and if that doesn't work in
the floppy, maybe you could try a WINDOWS 98 or ME emergency startup disk

My problem itselvs have disappeared. Maybe in fact the tray was
blocked, it was feeling some resistance somewhere, I don't now.
Thanks all for help.

Mayby someone know if is true, that in some CD in fact tray would be
closed after some time, what have prevented to get dirty insside?
