    Hi guys.
    I have a crazy DVD drive which open and close it tray non stop
    I cant watch movie, install software or do anything with it. I try to get it fix but the technician cant help me.
    So , what I asking is if anyone know a program to lock up the disc tray, so that it will not open and close in the middle of an installation process.
    I dont know if there is a program like this, but if you know please help. OR if you know something that can help me with this issue please tell me.
    Thank you for reading this.

    You either have a virus/trojan wreaking havok with your drive, or you have a faulty drive. Do a complete virus and trojan scan.

    On the hardware side, check and see if there's anything preventing the tray from closing completely. Make sure the eject button isn't stuck.

    Visit your DVD manufacturer's website and/or Google for the DVD model number/manufacturer to see if others have reported this problem.
