Hi everyone, I've managed to build my computer from scratch for the first time ever, so that's the goods news!
However I'm having an issue with my CD/DVD drive. It refuses to read discs, when i put a dvd or cd in it makes whirring noises and the light flashes showing activity. As soon as i press eject it says no disc in drive, so it must know that somethings is in their it just refuses to run or show a disc in the drive. I only manged to install windows 7 because i had a usb boot drive i made to restore an old laptop that i was selling. I have tried uninstalling it/installing and checked the drivers are all up to date and i also set the region to location 2 (UK)
I then downloaded Microsoft Fixit dvd to repair the problem. It just came up with unreadable format etc. When these are discs i know are readable as they worked in my previous windows 7 laptop...
Any ideas? Faulty drive possibly? Loose cable??
