What the hell is this noise?!

Hi everyone, I just decided to install a a DVD drive I had in the cupboard because mine decided it didn't want to install Halo, thought I might as well have 2 in, I did attempt to tidy some of the wires while I was in there, now for some reason there's a constant clicking, I don't know if it's because the side is currently off or not. So I started turning the computer off, disconnecting 1 fan, then 2, then the last one apart from the cpu fan, and still the clicking remained, I was sure it would be a wire catching somewhere, I even disconnected both the dvd drives, but still the clicking sound mocks me, anyone have any idea's?

It's okay, I've solved it, I forgot to connect the psu to the 3.5" floppy drive, I took the side off to disconnect it and see if it's that, but found it wasn't connected, so wondered if it was trying to check the floppy drive but there was no power, I could however be completely wrong as that was just a bit of a guess, but never the less, the clicking mocks me no more!

Good to see you solved this, yep one little thing missed and your computer isn't happy. I have a Dvd that has simulated slot machines you can play & even have bonus's just like the casino's.

Anyways, it won't install on my computer because it's scratched. I can't wait til scratchless cd's & dvd's come out. Well it never hurts to dream.

I always create ISO's of my games incase the disc decides to stop working and if I want to reinstall it I have a backup. A program like ImgBurn can do the trick.

Thanks, after all that, the dvd drive I put in, turned out to be more useless than the one that was already in, so after all that, it go me no where, I do normally look after my games, but this was 80p in cash converters and was like that already, thought for that price it was worth the risk, annoyingly the laptop installs it, do you think I would be able to create and iso of the disk in it's current state? it always get's stuck at about 67%, it's one of the sound files

Just answered my own question, tried with both drives in the desktop to no avail, then tried the laptop and still no joy

It isn't possible to create an ISO image of a drive..

Man, what a great idea. I wish i would have thought of that when I bought the disc.

I meant an ISO image of Halo
