| 440858 | 2006-03-26 08:31:00 | um..not really a question question..read on if u bother i burn my stuff onto dvd to free up my hdd i used: princo 8x dvd-r burnt with liteon drive using nero data verification completely successfully disc seems all good and did a Nero CD-DVD Speed test and got a nice line did tests with kprobe and gave nice results was rather pleased with the the princo media now..a few weeks later.. burnt another dvd today thought the folder i put my discs in were a bit full..actually too full so got myself a new cd folder thingy and start moving some discs over so the old folders don't look so fat now..this must be the first time where good media failed me.. not because of bad write or bad media..but because of bad storage.. the folders were too full and um..somehow the discs sitting in the last few pockets of the folder got pushed and got bent so they end up with concave or convex shape to them took a while to figur out..cause can't see the bend just by looking at it couldn't figur out what was going on i do data verification everytime i burn dvds..and they were successful and tried the disc before putting it away anyway.. but suer is obvious when put onto a flat table and press down on it now the 4 sad bent dvds are being pressed flat under a pile of heavy books and er..hopefully gets flat so the drive can spin it and read it properly so..yea.. all the warning about don't store where there's sunlight and all is important..but never thought this could happen just by putting them in a overcroweded cd folder maybe something to watch out for next time when cd folders get fat ooh..might as well ask a question.. anyone got same experience? or are these discs er..made with plastic that's too soft..um.. and .. any other suggestions to flatten these discs?? kinda do need data off them |
