You have to hear what just happend........

I was opening up a game of Command And Conquer Renegade and I went to the kitchen to clean up some stuff because it takes some time to connect and stuff. So anyway, I hear a bang, after that very weird sound like something is maniacly spinning around. i think that my dads lcd screen fell over or something, I check it out and I hear that the sound comes from the cd player...

I open it up. And what do I see? MY COMMAND AND CONQUER RENEGADE CD CUT TO SHREDS AND DESTROYED IN 1000 PIECES!

AND I THREW AWAY MY PROOF THAT I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!! I'M GOING FUCKING CRAZY!

I'm gonna try downloading a Renegade ISO and see if that works...

This is fucking weird... I hate PCs!

I'M GETTING A FUCKING MAC!

But it's my dads comp not mine so I don't really mind that the cd(actually dvd) player is broke...

is it a 52x cdrom drive, my friend has one and it keeps putting cracks in cd's if you load for two long, they shatter.

Make sure you open up the drive and clean it out.

It could have something to do with the speed of the cd/dvd drive but it's nonetheless weird. It's the first time I hear such a case. My advice: save some money and get a Mac.

my 40x does nicely, but then its not hard to make your cdrom 80x according to a friend of mine. He got his burner to work at some rediculous speeds.

that happened at my last work with a windows 98 install CD. the CD actually cracked with a loud bang into 3 bits and one bit embedded itself into a partition several feet away.

i did post here when it happened but it would have been about 8 months ago now.

Windows 98, Command & Conquer Renegade??? Notice the huge difference???

If Windows 98 goes bust I wouldn't care.

If Command & Conquer Renegade goes bust the meaning of my live will be destroyed.

Don't you know that you shouldn't put CD's in drives over 40x speed? Speeds over 40x spin too fast for CD's too handle(maybe they should start using sturdier material for CD's?). No matter what the machine is, anything over 40x is just too fast. If you had a 42x, 48x, 52x, etc. drive in a Mac your CD's are as likely to explode as they are in a PC with the same speed drive.

Do you guys know how stupid this sounds. CD's exploding in fast drives. Ive been using a 52X drive for a long time and this has never happened. Hell I talked to some people and noone has ever heard of this.
