Whirring DVDRom Drive at Boot
hi,
i have one old laptop with a dvdrom drive as its mounted bay device. i have disabled the drive in device manager and also disabled 'mounted bay device' at bios, but on every boot, the pc still reads it once and i hear this 2-3 second whirring from the empty drive. apart from this occurrence at boot, the drive does appear disabled during normal operation.
is there anything i can do short of physically disconnecting the cable to end this?
i don't want it to activate at all, at any time.
