![]() I've had discs ejected out spinning once or twice...So I guess it's possible to scratch them over time, but I highly doubt you'll get it one to shatter without cutting it practically in half first.

![]() well my disks get ejected spinning pretty much all the time and going round on a plastic base isnt great for scratches.. it sounds bad.
also one time my 170quid xp cd spun off the tray and got lodged in the drive slot CDs only have a limited life. Its a fairly long one but its still limited. 3 1/2 in floppies are incredibly unreliable. on the one hand I have some 14 year old DOS floppies that are fine. On the other hand some 2 year old ones are broken. Compared to this CDs are much better I saw a report in a magasine they were testing CD-Rs to see how long they lasted. apparently some died in 6 months. They were CD-Rws and they used them according to average use besides. dont worry about it! some games offer replacement CD services anyway |

![]() Try the program DriveSpeed to stop the cd spinning before you eject it.

![]() It happened to me once. CD accelerated and accelerated, and when i've tried to stop it... Well... It flew trough my room and broke on the wall. It was a fun CD.
So if your CD accelerates in the drive to very, very high speeds, please put a pillow on the other side of the room, and seek for cover, to avoid a cloud of debris. :bleh: Or try DriveSpeed. Useful program. |
