So i got an odd problem...
I have 2 drives in my PC and one is gone off to be RMA (OS drive). And I needed some files off my backup drive and have no spare PC. So I thought I'd use backtrack 3 to access it.. stupid idea probably.
Anyways I put in the backtrack 3 disc I had lying around.. it loaded it during the boot and then the PC restarted. After that it wouldn't boot off my disc at the boot menu anymore.
So I tried to open my drive with the eject button... no response. So I restarted to check if it lights up and it does suring start up... I had to do the old paperclip trick to get the disc out. But it won't boot the disc or open with the eject button.
Could the backtrack 3 disc have run something and froze or locked the dvd drive? I did notice my 2nd HD (storage files) wasn't even connected either. It was just the DVD drive.
I'm hoping I didn't kill my dvd d rive now.. gahhhhhh
Right now I disconnected the IDE and power connectors from the dvd drive. Not sure if there is a way to do some kinda of reset or short. It just feels like the drive is locked or stuck in some mode.
