Hi,

I have windows XP and sometimes when I place a DVD or CD (either
containing a game, or just various media files), the disc will start
spinning and keep spinning, even when it's not in use. This only
happens with some disc's, but always with them.

Any advice?

Thanks.
 
Like hard drives,they spin continuously.A cd or dvd player with a disk
installed
by default must spin all the time as to the OS/user will have access to the
files.
If it stopped,most users would complain about the continuos start up time,&
not having the files ready when needed.Remove disk solves it
