CD drive opening on boot (solved)
My cd/dvd drive opens when I boot and won't finish unless I close it. This is pre grub so its hardware ??.

Sounds like it if it is happening before grub. You could try disabling boot from CD-ROM in the BIOS if it is enabled or changing the boot order so that the HDD is first.

I changed the cable and put a jumper on master instead of letting it default. Works fine now.
