I don't know much things about that except i've heard some people saying that downloading by limewire gets you lots of viruses and other bad things like that.But don't take my words as granted,i'm only saying what i've heard.It can be another problem.

This should fix it..

On your drive there should be a litle hole somewhere.. like the size of a pin. Get a pin/paper cip and then push it in. This will open the drive via the "emergency open". Take out the cd and restart your PC

Hopefully everything will be normal again and the noise will have gone. Drives can be very noisy sometimes, especially with a CD in them.

He's been told the very same thing on the other of his multiposts in cd-r.. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/491544
I told him to just reboot and hit the eject button when the bios screen flashes up. That always does it for me.

/me slaps kipod1234 for multiposting!

If you're goin to post, a) keep it in the same thread, don't spread them about! b) a title a little more descriptive than "helppppp!" might be useful!
