Superdrive is making an odd sound

[RaptorJesus]

Its almost like a grinding/clicking sound when ever I load a disk in. And I have to push it in almost all the way before it starts to grab it. I have the 15 inch MBP, and I bought the Apple Care warranty thing.

I would take it to a genius, but the only problem is I live in West Virginia, and the closest store is something like 3 hours away... What can I do about this?

All Apple slot-loading drives make an ugly crunching grinding sound when you insert or eject a disc. Unless it's damaging the disc, I wouldn't worry about it. Both my 24" iMac and white MacBook make that sound.
