so ever since a year ago my pc has been making a loud noise at startup. I found out it was definitely the optical drive as i felt the vibrations most from there. The only way i found to fix it was bang on the top of the optical drive of my case. But i would like to disable the optical drive from booting so i don't have to hear a loud noise every time. Can anyone tell me a way to fix this? I don't have the money to go out and buy a new optical drive atm
Yeah, Just unplug the power to it. If it really bugs you either its not installed right, or its defective.
Couple possibilities... the screws are loose and its a vibration noise or its defective over time. Simply unplug it, If its a dvd writer drive, those are only 20 bux. Slap a new one in.
