dvd-rom problems
Greetings all,
I''m reposting my problem, since it seems I didn't quite word it right earlier.
Here are the problems I'm having with my drive:
Whenever you put in any program or game the drive takes minutes to auto-play. Along with this the drive sounds very loud and sounds like it's stuggling to run. (Sorry, that's the best way to describe it.)
Also the eject button does not seem to respond most of the time. It could be a fresh boot, and I still can't get the drive to open.
As you can imagine this causes problems with installing software. Sometimes while installing different software, it misses a file during installation. I'll usually get a pop up window asking if I would like to try to load that file again.
Any ideas? All of the cables are seated properly.
Thanks
Ronnie
