How sexist of you..you only want help from the guys, eh?!?

Well I'm a man..so I guess I can chime in..

Make sure the cables are secure first and formost..I had this problem and it took me forever to figure it out, because I never thought that could be the problem since my computer doesn't move. Computers are the devil though, and may unplug accessories from itself, so you should check to be sure!



Do you have a friend who doesn't mnid opening up their computer? If so, try putting your disc drive in their computer and their drive in your computer and see if either of them work then.

sounds like a dead disc drive. I had one die on me in my laptop. I wouldn't waste your time trying to swap it out with all sorts of things, as the most likely thing is a shot motor.

I wanna pad this out a bit more:

 Module DiscTray

public currentFunds as double
public trayPrice as double = 25

     Sub Main()
       dim broken as boolean

       'someone else can write test code.

       console.writeline("What are you current funds?")
       currentFunds = console.readline()

       if (broken = True) then
              buyNew()
       else
              beHappy()
       endif

       console.readline()

     End Sub

     sub buyNew()
         dim action as string = "Purchase"
         dim mood as string = "pissed"
         dim wallet as integer = currentFunds - trayPrice

     console.writeline("You need to buy new drive. Remaining funds: " & wallet)

     if (wallet > 0) then
          console.writeline(mood)
     else
          console.writeline(mood & mood)
     endif

     End Sub

     sub beHappy()
          dim hormone as string
          hormone = "endorphins"

          console.writeline("Releasing " & hormone)

    end sub

you could at least use something besides VB which has to be the worst language ever invented, and only supported because people cried to microsoft to continue it. (they did try to kill it) (edit, or maybe it is something similar to VB, but I'm not 100% sure)

$20 for DVD drives these days. If the one you had was 6 years old, it most likely was a slow drive as well and may not have been able to write to dual layered discs.

If you have a SATA motherboard, even better.
