Hi, This is my first post on here so be gentle with me, I am more used to discussing ferrets!
I have a problem with my DVD drive which I think may be mechanical rather than software as when I did a trouble shoot it insisted that it is working fine.
When I out a disc in the drive it makes a lot of clicking and whirring sounds, not the gentle whoosh sound it used to. It makes a noise for a while then stops, when i call up the drive on My Computer t doesn't show any disc present at all.
If it is knackered, for want of a better word, how easy is it to take the old one out and put a new one in, I'm not exactly a computer whizz but willing to try. I have a Dell Inspion 1300.
