new sata dvd drive won't spin

yes its powered.. and it ejects disks just fine from the button on the drive and the eject disk command in windows. i have a sata hd that works fine so id be hard pressed to believe its a sata problem on the mobo. But it is a crappy ECS micro board from Frys so who knows..

ATSC Tuner ( HDTV ) $69.97 Radio Shack

i bought one used off a guy on these forums since I couldnt find one and it works great.. I was using an old AM antenna from an old receiver and jabbing it into the coax and actually got a semi-decent signal in most cases. Nice!

I can't edit my profile

I'd like to change my email address as it is no longer available (attbi), but it says my username is invalid. Is that because I have an underscore in my name? Can you please fix or help me change my email address?
