Thanks so much for this link. My MBP SuperDrive was not recognizing a disk. No noise from the drive at all. Tried many suggestions for ejecting the disk, including the ones above, with no success. Went to your link, which is called "Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive". Followed a link to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US which is "Resetting the System Management Controller" and followed these initial instructions:
When I put the Mac to sleep in Step 2 and then did the wakeup, I could hear the SuperDrive starting up and trying to access the disk. I then did the Step 3 Restart, and the disk ejected upon rebooting! No need to go to step 4 to shut down.
