Assuming drive E: is a CD-ROM or DVD look closely at the front of
the drive. You will see a tiny hole about the size of the wire used
in a paper clip. Get a paper clip straighten it out and stick it in
the hole. This should open the drive.

Have yo tried rebooting the system?

Insert an unfolded paper clip in that little tiny hole on
your CD drive's face plate and gently press in until the
CD door opens.

there usually is a small pin hole in front of drive.
using a small paper clip in the hole should force the drive door to open.

Hi,

Reboot - does it work now? If not, you may need to replace the drive.
Forcing it open with a paperclip as others have described is ok if you need
to retrieve a stuck disk, but it doesn't fix it.
