    i bought all my parts from scan , purchased windows 7 of ebay brand new,, so only trampish thing was getting a free case of my mate , and it's the first time ive ever done anything involving building computers so i wanted to some help from someone who knows what their doing ( panicked when things wernt working)

    and p.s the fan which isnt working is built into the case , probably very hard to remove so i was just wondering what alternatives were available

    only one of the fans is working (the side one) and im downloading a few things and i am worried about the temperature as i dont want to frazzle anything within the first day , i also have my cpu fan in their

    Optical drive or physical drive?

    Dvd drives are usually handled by windows automatically and reading from them should give no error on a fresh install of windows.

    Go into your BIOS. Most of the time it is the DEL key on first boot screen, sometimes it is F2 or another key. Find the key to enter BIOS then go to your drive page, select the mode of your DVD drive make sure it is set to IDE, not AHCI.

    Double check the cables are plugged in at the back, then try installing the chipset driver from dvd first.

    If you cannot see a hard drive, windows may not have assigned a letter properly. Right click on Computer > manage then goto Disk management section, find the drive that is missing and right click on it then select Change Drive Letter and Paths. select a new drive letter. Hard drives start at C:, if you only have one hard drive and a dvd. the dvd will be D: in most cases.

    In very rare cases Windows likes to be smart and put the DVD drive assignment in the middle of 2 hard drives and the 2 hard drives being c: and e: or something like that, you can switch the letters around with this if you want.

    should be no problems with the format of the optical drive coz it installed windows and my hard drive is c and my disk drive is d
