Will happen with a CD/DVD that worked yesterday. If I leave the CD in the machine while booting then access the disk it will load up straight away but if I took it out then put it back, it won't load. Almost snapped BF2142 disk in small fit of rage. |

| 714168 | 2008-10-23 20:55:00 | Don't think its power (Don't think I explained very well) I can hear it spinning but not as fast as it should or not as fast as when it works. |

| 714169 | 2008-10-23 21:10:00 | Does it do it with all disks, or just CDs or DVDs, just dual layer... ? | wratterus (105) | ||
| 714170 | 2008-10-23 21:28:00 | Good question It did it last night when i put Crysis in which is Dual Layer, but first time i noticed was BF2 which I'm not sure what it is. But other Dual layer games seem to work fine ie. Cod4 or MOH Airbourne (yes, yes that is a gay game) |
