What is the reason for a self tapping screw to over drive?

striped shank or hole.

An electric screwdriver or drill with an adjustable torque limit has worked well for me in similar situations. The screw tends to go in straighter than by hand and the torque limit prevents stripping out the plastic hole.\n\nWK

I have daemon tools which is a program for mounting ISO files.  I have had it for several months and have had no problems whatsoever.  Infact it has saved me a lot of trouble and i dont know what i would do without it.

I just had the same thing happen to me. It was a defective hard drive on my computer causing the issue.....I took it to the Geek Squad for repair....It wasn't an old computer either, 3 months old....Hope this helps!!\n\nGL;)

I'm sorry, but there is no such thing as CD-tray alignment calibration.  It's either on the gears....or it's not.\n\nIf pushing the open/close button on the drive works normally, then there is nothing to be done.  If the CD remains in the same position upon ejection as when you put it in say 4 attempts....then the Stepper-Motor is bad....buy a new one, they're not worth fixing....

It requires a + screwdriver to unscrew the nuts, after disconnecting the power. But problem may start when dismounting the devices inside the cabinate. Please take utmost care not to touch any chip in any part of the motherboard, processor & hard disk because the static charge might damage ur peripherals.\nWARNING>>>>> removing the processor needs special care & needs professional hand.

there should be a little pin-hole size opening on the front of the drive.  Take a paperclip and unbend it and put one end in the hole.  By pushing less than 1/2", you should be able to manually eject the disk.

The hard drive platters are coated with a special coating that contains microscopic, magnetically-sensitive particles.  As the heads move across the spinning hard drive, the tiny particles are put into one of two positions -- a position indicating a "1" (ON) or a position indicating a "0" (OFF).  This all occurs extremely fast, of course.  The microscopic particles retain their position until they are overwritten by the heads, or a magnet is brought into close proximity to the drive platters.  Amazing, huh?

Just did a quick google search and came up with this :\n\nhttp://www.amdboard.com/ocspecial.html\n\nI have never really over clocked anything as that tends to shorten its life span since it isnt meant to run at the higher speeds.

The armature  of your hard drive might not be working properly and this generally leads to this clicking noise. \n\nSuggestion.\nPlease backup your data as your hard drive will stop working as soon as S.M.A.R.T monitoring in bios reports Failed and thisgenerally happens witing 3 to 4 weeks after the noise starts coming from the HDD(It actually depends the way and time for hich you use your computer).\nIf your had drive is in warrenty then give  it to you hardware vendor .. it will be replaced.

Hmm, it would seem that you tried to do something to a disk drive that doesn't exist.\n\nIf you're trying to do something with your floppy drive, that's the A:/ drive.  Your main hard drive is usually C:/ and your cd drive is either d:/ or e:/

It is generally bad if the little led light on the drive is still on, meaning it is still being accessed. If you see the light go out and after 5 seconds it is still out, it should be ok to remove the drive.\n\nJust make sure it is not accessing the drive when you take it out because then you could get data corruption.

You may be missing some obscure components. Leave the disk in the CD tray for a while and, maybe, it will install itself.\n\nI know, not terribly tech-y, but it has happened to me and this fixed it.

There is a little tiny hole usually next to the eject button that you can stick a straight pin or paper clip in and it should open it for you. That's what the hole is for when the eject button won't open it.  After you get it open be sure to check it out for any foreign objects that might have got in there\n\nIf the paper clip doesn't work you will need to take your drive out of the computor. To do that open the case and there is probably two screws holding it in.  Turn the pc off before you do this. It's pretty simple to take one out. Be sure to note how you un-hook the cables so you can hook it back up.

Usually there is a pinhole next to the drive door. Get a paperclip and unbend it and then put it in the whole and push...the door should pop open

Probably the button is broken :)\nJust so you know there is usually a manual open button that looks like a little pinhole on the cd-drive. \nThis probably isn't a software issue because if it was, no software would be able to open the CD-drive either. Nearly 99% chance of a hardware problem.
