About 3 hours ago I put in a blank CD to burn. My computer spit it out immediately, but I put it back in and everything went well... until just now when I opened up a Finder windows to see that the CD was still located in the sidebar. There is no eject icons next to it, clicking on it changes the titlebar to "Audio CD" for less than a seconds then flashes back to the folder I was just at. How do I get this thing out?

I tried putting in another disc, I tried relaunching Finder.

"inexistent" - are you some kind of philosopher?

It is possible that you have accidentally added the CD to your sidebar rather than having it appear only when inserted - just drag it off and drop it to make it disappear in a poof of smoke.

I've seen a bug in 10.5.0 and 10.5.1 where a disc icon will get "stuck" in the sidebar, despite the disc no longer being actually mounted. Fixed with a reboot, but hoping it'll be addressed in 10.5.2.

I recently encountered a similar bug. I mounted a .dmg and it would not unmount until I killed the dmg helper process.
