iMac CDRW

When trying to use a CD on the slot type CDRW on this particularIMac, the CD produces a whirring sound for a couple seconds and then is ejected without ever showing on the desktop. Happens everytime with different CD's. Did work up until this time.
Being new to Mac's, wanted to know if this is hardware related (bad CDRW); and if not, any suggestions as to what can be tried.

That sounds like hardware. With the slot loader, you might need to give it a decent push into the drive...I've had that on my Powerbook before.
Otherwise, you can get replacement drives online.

Hi!
I've had the same trouble with my new imac, insert DVD (Packard Bell DVD+RW) and it just clicks/whirrs before the disc is ejected. Incompatibility issues?
