ok if ur willing... open ur case and check that the cables are connected properly at the back of the drives.. if one wont open it more than likely
doesn't have a power connector in properly... or it has died. if u have a cd in the drive, and need it there is a trick to opening a drive.. so let
us know

1. and if im not willing....
2. what is this trick to opening cd drives.
3. what can i do without opening the drive. does the drive not getting power have anythign to do with this?

1. if your not willing, you'll have to pay someone..
2. Look at the front of the drive..you see that little hole...get a pin, or a paper clip, and push it in the hole, that's the manual release..then
pull open the drawer to get the cd out.
3. not sure what you mean..!!??
Has your PC been doing other strange things? How many drives do you have altogether, including HD's? Is this a custom built PC, or a "Name " brand
name? has anyone moved it lately? has anyone else opened the case lately? How old is it ?
