Most drives have a small hole that you can stick a paperclip into as an emergency manual release of the DVD:

i dont have that kind of drive sadly.... its like the one on the WII with no tray there is no small hole neer by i can only use a GUI to get it to eject if it helps i think its cause i killed a burning program while it was running. it is most likely causing a overheating problem and im worried i need to get it out ASAP

First of all, stay calm. You have a slot load drive and those behave differently. Have you tried unplugging the drive from power inside your computer, or even restarting your computer? Keep in mind sometimes the software can hang the drive and requires a reboot for the computer to reinitialize the drive to release the clamps inside.

With a laptop the way to do a "full reset" of it is to shut it down and remove the battery for a few minutes, then reattach the battery and start it back up again.
