    Can anyone help me. when putting a cd into my drive it whirrs for a couple of seconds then thats it. it shows up as no disc present when i open up the drive. it does it with any disc. any ideas on how to solve this problem.

    Cd drives die like everything else. If you can't get an audio CD to play through the headphone jack (i.e. without the pc at all ) it is dead and needs replacing.
    You may get a cleaner cd to help.

    If your pc is a laptop, look after the drive by supporting the tray underneath when you put in a disk. don't actually push it upward though.

    Good luck with your new installation, let us know how it goes.
