I've got a CD in right now and my drive is making a really loud noise. It only happens when a disc is in which I've read somewhere is normal and that if it makes this noise while a disc is in it's better than if it doesn't. 1213081833.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
no it reads the disc I just don't want to think about having to replace a drive on a three year old computer
Hey man I don't know how you fix your drives but I'm not about to do something that might get myself electrocuted.
Did the drive just start humming? I know some drives are just noisy. Pioneers man. Those babies are quiet reading and writing.
When I saw the thread title, I thought it was something your girlfriend/wife or boyfriend(not that there's anything wrong with that) did for you on a long trip. Then I saw all the nerdspeak and realized how wrong I was.
