I see that you seem to not have gotten any replies, so I thought I'd
try to help. Are you able to boot from CD? If yes, then do you see
these issues if you try using a live CD? If yes, then that would
suggest some sort of a hardware problem to me. If no, then it's
probably something specific to your system/install, but I'm not sure
what. I've found from past experience that if a CD drive acts oddly
and refuses to eject at times that it is usually a problem with the
ribbon cable going to the drive. The connection became loose
somewhere, or the cable just went bad. I've also seen this happen when
using a splitter adapter for the power connection. In that case, one
or both drives would randomly misbehave when they were getting power
via the splitter. Good luck.
