andsome Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 My daughter has a problem with her computer, which I think I can help her with. However, there is what I think could be a cause of potential problems. Invariably when I am at her house and boot the computer up, the CD/DVD drive whirs because there is a disc in the drive, and the computer is trying to run it. I have mentioned this to her every time it occurs, but they are all too damned lazy to take discs out before closing down. Can this cause possible problems, or am I worrying about nothing? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I doubt that it would cause a problem - but it would appear to be a bit of an inconvenience.Encourage them to use the drive as a slide away cup holder instead.... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Andsome go in to the BIOS and set the hard drive as first boot, then it will not seek the CD to see if it is bootable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchpad Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 this should not cause any problems as long as it's not a bootable cd or if the cd "Wobbles" or hmm "vibrates" but a cd that does that should never be put in a cd-drive anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Andsome go in to the BIOS and set the hard drive as first boot, then it will not seek the CD to see if it is bootable.They mess things up so much, that I would prefer to leave that alone in case we need to use the system disc. As long as it does not cause problems I will not bother them any more on that point. Thanks all. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
