Under linux a CD/DVD drive will not eject as long as the medium inside is still mounted. You have to unmount it first.
This works by clicking the button next to it on th eleft side in nautilus, right-clicking the drive in the starter of with the "umount" command in the Terminal.

Can you help with this problem?
