Lite-On DVD Drive Not Reading Windows 7 Disc

[purpleninja]

Hey guys,
I just finished my first custom PC build, and all I need now is to install the OS. I have a new copy of Windows 7 System Builder, so I put it in my Lite-On IHAS124-04 and set the boot order with the DVD drive first in my BIOS. I saved the changes and shut down, then powered it back on again. The drive spun up REALLY LOUDLY for close to a minute, then went silent. My motherboard displays a message saying, "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and press a key." I don't know what to make of this, any ideas?
Thanks.

Should be easy enough to return to Amazon.

Obviously, recheck your power and data connections one more time before you decide to return it.

I've tested all of my connections, nothing seems to work.

I've heard that same noise from a bad disk. But yeah...in this case it would appear to be a bad drive.

Just a quick update, I got the return setup through Amazon and decided to pick up an LG External USB DVD drive from a local Best Buy. I hooked it up and I'm installing Windows right now. It works great! Thanks again for your help.
