everytime i try to run any type of CD (a game, a music CD, ect.), my computer won't load it. it does not appear under "my computer". when i initially put in the disk it makes noises like it is trying to run it but can't read it. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

Hi Radioheadchik, personally it sounds as if your CD drive has decided to not work anymore.

Double check the connections inside the computer (if your confident enough), but I'd say the drive needs replacing.

yeah, i'm not gutsy enough to check the connections. thank you!

Maybe is a firmware update an idea.

i've fixed the problem.. thank you all!
