Loud Spin-up in your CD-ROM Drive  
 
High-speed CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives spin the disc at a very high rotational speed and may be noisy. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if the disc is slightly imbalanced, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed and the noise is louder. This effect is inherent in the high-speed technology and does not indicate a problem with the drive.
