I recently installed Vista x64 and am in the process of setting my computer back up again. I have been reinstalling games and the like using obviously my DVD drive. After about 9 disks working perfectly, I go to insert the CS:Source disk 4 and it goes in and pops right back out without spinning up or anything. I have tried all kinds of disks and they are all doing the same thing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver and restarted and it is still happening leading me to believe it has nothing to do with x64 Vista. Anyone have any idea what has happened?

I since got it to start accepting disks again but the drive is making funny noises and doesn't appear to be able to spin the disk very fast at all. I have contacted dell and it is going to be replaced!
