[quote="Eight Ace":70277]thx 4 the advice guyz but not only are my discs not being read,
they are now covered in my own hot man-leavings, which quite frankly
does nothing but compound my already existing problem.....bah! mad:[/quote:70277]had the same problem a while back. If you see your power light on the front working then most likely it isn't your disc drive or power connector etc thats causing the problem. I went into the bios and enabled something relating to the drive (rom drive) that was disabled somehow. First set your default bios settings and then if that doesn't work, go into the bios and change( i forgot exactly what it was)..
