Do I have a problem-Comp Guru Help

[Elsaspet]

Ok, I'm now on my third computer in the last three months.......the first one didn't have the HD room I needed, and the second one took forever to process, so I took the plunge and bought an HP Media Center with the dual processer, the wireless lan, the hyperthreader, removable harddrive and lightscribe. It's the lightscribe that I think may be causing me problems.
My burner was really quiet and efficient until I started using the lightscribe (which is pretty cool, btw!). Now when I burn stuff, it sounds like there is a lawnmower in the drive. I keep double checking and it's burning alright, but the noise is just weird.
Do I have a problem? Is this normal? I really don't want to have to take this puppy back because I spent about a week loading programs and files, and updating calendars and contacts.............

LOL, some of the new burners spin so fast it sounds like a jet engine is about to take off when they are spinning. I just got a new Dell and had to open the case and tighten the screws on mine that were attaching it to the frame as it was a little noisy too. You might try that as it lowered mine's noise level considerably.

Oh thank God it's something like that. Thanks again Shane!!!!! I'll have the hubster look at the screws.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!

No promises that that will cure it - the new ones are louder as they simply spin faster, but hopefully it helps a little!
