I had a question to why my orange light is on all the
time even when there isn't a cd in the drive....this
usually means that it's reding but there is nothing to
read...can you help?

If it was a floppy drive you have the data cable in backwards. Given
complete lack of info or history other than the light I would have to
point your to the CD drive manufacturers Web site.

not a big deal, annoying i know.

Don't know what you have or what you're doing with it.
However, here's an example of what you can find on some sites
regarding the lights. This one is Plextor SCSI CDRW lights;
