A "driver" is software, you can't insert a disk into it.

Do you mean the CD/DVD disk drive?

There should be a button on the front of the computer next to the DVD drive, it's usually on the right side. Some cases hide it, but there should be an area to push. After you push the button the DVD drive should open.

If that doesn't work:

    Almost all CD/DVD drives have an eject button that when pushed will open the drive.  Look carefully, using a flashlight if necessary.

    If there really is no eject button ...

    • Press the Windows Logo button and E simultaneously
    • Right-click on the icon for your CD/DVD drive (under "Devices with removable storage") and click on "Eject"
    • The drive also should open if you just double-click on the icon
