    Hi folks, my cd drive is recognized but when I have set the the boot order to boot from it , you can hear it trying to boot but it never gets over the hump to fully get it done .

    It sounds like it's trying though.

    I am not sure what to do .

    Thanks for any tips

    It could either be a scratched/defective disc or a problem with the lens on the drive itself.

    "Burned" CD/DVDs are more sensitive to scratching than OEM software discs (which are "stamped" like old LP records).

    Try a different copy of the disc if possible.
