You mean you pulled out the entire tray?
Look on the underside of the tray. You should see a toothed edge on each side. Check to see if any of the teeth are broken. If not, good. If they are, then you will probably need to buy a new drive. Now look inside the drive, where you yanked the tray out. You should be able to see little gears on each side. Carefully line up the teeth on the underside of the tray with the gears and GENTLY start pushing it in. If it gets stuck, pull it out and start again. After the tray is pushed in a certain distance, it should pull itself in automatically. Test the drive a couple of times to make sure it works.

Sorry, I'm afraid you are out of luck. The good thing is that a new drive only costs $20 - $30 . See newegg.com
