    I loaded some software (from CD) that came with a digital camera. The drive was very noisy. Sounded like it was working very hard.

    Today I was going to burn a CD and I can't cuz I can't find the drive (D:) anywhere. The tray will open and close. But I can't find the drive on MyComputer.

    What should I do?
