    Laptop has decided to stop ripping cds. Help!

    My laptop has decided to start being a complete dick lately. It is refusing to let me rip new CDs onto windows media player.
    Both of the CDs I tried ripping onto it are in perfect condition so it's not refusing to recognise them because they are all scratched up or anything.
    When I put a CD it makes noises like it's going to start ripping, then it gives up.
    Help.
    I know feck all about computers so keep any answers dumbed down please
    Thanks

    Do you have permission from the copyright holder of these CDs?

    Yeah. I phoned Jerry Cantrell this morning.
    It's not got one of those copy protect things on it that stops you putting it on your computer.
    First thing I checked.

    It's making a hell of a lot of noise, like it's trying to rip it but then it just stops.
    Haven't a clue, really.
    So it could be the whole drive.

    Look up your laptops model number on ebay with 'cd drive' as part of the search, get a new one, swap it out.
