433662 2006-02-25 07:42:00 I put a CD in my CDwriter and when it started running there was a sudden noise. The CD broke damaging my writer. What went wrong and how can I avoid this happening next time? Please help.

433663 2006-02-25 08:17:00 The higher speed reader/writer drives place greater strains on the CD.

The centrifugal force the CD endures means that any minute inperfection in the CD (such as a crack or manufacuring fault) means the CD can fly apart, taking the drive with it.

Nothing you can do apart from buying good quality media and handling the media correctly.

433664 2006-02-25 08:22:00 there wsa a big issue some years ago with some (then new) high speed cd drives explodeing disks. high RPM and small defects in the disks mean they blew apart destroying the drive.

advoid useing any CD's that have cracks in them.
