I figured it would be convenient to keep the sticker on the XP CD.
Now it's stuck in the drive.
Any suggestions?
 
Hi,

Turn off the system by the power switch, then force the drive door open with
a straightened out paper clip. There should be a small hole on the front of
the drive for these purposes.

Not a good idea, doing that will throw the CD off balance and possibly cause
your CD drive to fail, or the CD to crack and shatter inside the drive.
 
I fixed the problem. The CD drive was still able to open. I took it
out, took off the bottom panel and used tweezers to get the code
sticker out. Thanks.
