I have a E-machine PC and i bought brand new CD-RW to burn a couple of movies. but when i right-click on the cd drive it doesn't give me the option of formatting the cd first before i burn the movies on it. a message tells me that the files are ready to be written but when i start the process it keeps telling me that i need to insert a cd RW in my pc to burn the movie. i know how to format but the computer won't give me that option at all when i insert a cd. what is the problem? can someone help me please?

For about a week the cd-rom on my computer has been making loud noises and then it opens by itself. I close the cd-rom and it opens by itself again. This happens about 3 or more times. Other than that it works fine. I checked my computer for viruses and it doesn't have any. So why does the cd-rom open up by itself?

So I am probably going to go out and get a laptop today mainly for school use and some gaming, I was wondering if anybody knew
( OR from experience) if I should get Sony, HP, Toshiba, Acer, Apple, or Compaq. (I heard Dells are great but me personally I am going to be biased by saying I do not like that company... sry) Any help would be appreciated . Thank you.
