What is the easiest method for retrieving a disc from a DVD drive when there is a power outage?

Restart the computer
Push an unbent paper clip into the hole on the front of the drive
Remove the drive and access it physically
Wait for power to restore

The correct answer is: Push an unbent paper clip into the hole on the front of the drive

The easiest method for retrieving a disc from a DVD drive during a power outage is to push an unbent paper clip into the small hole located on the front of the drive. This hole serves as a manual release mechanism that allows the user to eject the disc tray without the need for electrical power. The paper clip engages with a small lever that overrides the electronic locking mechanism of the drive, enabling the tray to open and the disc to be retrieved quickly and easily. This method is particularly useful in situations where waiting for power to restore or restarting the computer is not feasible, and physically removing the drive can be cumbersome or complicated.
