Hi members! My CD was crash into pieces inside the CD-ROM drive during installation. I put it properly inside the CD-ROM and I installed properly the 1st application. During the installation of the 2nd application (same CD), the CD was crash. What do you think is the cause?

you mean like the cd exploded and cracked in the cd drive? or when you were installing the app crashed? more info!

[geek hoodlum]

Yes, exploaded and crashed into pieces in the CD-ROM drive while installing the application.

This used to happen a lot once CD drives started hitting speeds of up to 52x. At those speeds, the disc is doing around 10,000 rpm and a badly made one can shatter, often destroying the drive.

Happened to me a long time ago when playing Red Alert 2.

The disc 'blew up' inside the CD Drive and I needed to replace it.

omg I didnt know this happens I thought the disks stand still in the Cd Drive or do they spin around?

Im scared to play stronghold 2 now or any of my games Afraid of them to explode.

Thats scary.

Lol, put tape over it like crisscrossing or something.

However, I don't think it is a problem you should worry about, Wefr0.

You will make the weight distribution uneven and it will break apart faster.

Er - they rotate. Have you never seen a diagram or video explaining how CDs work? How did you think they worked? All computer disks rotate! I can't believe you didn't know this. It's only the odd rogue disk that disintegrates, so I shouldn't worry. Although it's a good reason to back up important CDs and DVDs that you can't replace.
