    DVD/CD drive issue
    « on: December 09, 2012, 11:17:10 PM »
    So I reformatted my computer after getting a new SSD and getting it plugged in, and when I went to put a disk into my computer, my DVD drive wouldn't open(button does not work at all). So I checked in my device manager and disk management saw that it didn't show up at all in the CD drive section (my magicjack is there though). I even tried those Fix It programs but it didn't help.
     
    I have a feeling my DVD drive is not actually plugged in into my PSU, and to be honest that would really suck because my computer is super compact so the wires are everywhere and it would be *censored* to reconnect it.

    Hi Thehandyman,

    Sorry but you forgot to plug the power in that's the only thing that would cause it.

      Ok I will check that. Also I know this is unrelated but is it normal for an Intel SSD 330 series to be so loud? Because I looked at the reviews and nobody complains about the loudness being an issue. I know because after I plugged in SSD and installed my OS, the boot up was real fast but the computer just got really loud. It sounds like a lawnmower, it's really annoying unless I put headphones on.

      Are you sure of where the sound is coming from, that could just be a cable in a fan.

        Thanks the sound is gone now. Apparantly my brain doesn't work when I'm frustrated.
        Also, did anyone have a kind of situation where you had to unplug your disk drive from the PSU to plug in your SSD because your PSU didn't have the outlets?
