    I bought my new P-6860FX from Best Buy today and it's really amazing but my only gripe is the loudness of the DVD rom drive only when I'm watching a movie, it really gets loud like a vaccum whirring noise (it really muffles out the volume while Im listening with speaks). Do I have a faulty drive and should I get a replacement?, or is it a normally loud drive and are there any programs out there that can help me lower the noise or slow the rotation speed? Thanks
