So I put in a CD so I could burn Metal Gear Solid for the PSX on the CD.

I use IMGBURN as my main burning program. So as it says it's burning and I don't see any progress. After a while I get irritated and decide to stop the program.

I did, but I still heard sounds from my drive. Then 5 seconds later.

CRACK/BOOM!

It spooked the shit out of me. I immediately knew what it was, it was the CD and it fucking exploded in my drive.

Well there goes my drive! I'm really upset, because my computer only had one CD/DVD Drive. I've been trying to eject the drive, but I think it's basically dead.

Low-quality CDs explode in high-rpm drives. Doesn't happen very often but it really sucks when it does =(

Oh man how it does suck =/
I have an external CD reader and writer in my room, but I can't find the cables. As soon as I do though I'll use it.

In all honesty I've been using my drive lately to burn PSX games. I'm catching up on some I never played.

Metal gear solid, resident evil 3, final fantasy 7, yeah.. I missed those..

It's gonna fucking suck not being able to read and write dvd's. This is giving me a huge excuse to pirate more =/

Had this happen to me a few years ago. The CD exploded and fragments went flying. 1 piece hit my girlfriend in the ankle and caused her to bleed.

yeah they're easy to replace and cheap too. This actually happened to me like 3 years ago, I got scared and just ran out of the room lol

My computer has replaced two of them :|. I'm too lazy now and my drive half opens/doesn't open and I need to pry it open.

There's a Microcenter up the street from me in Virginia.



Also, my Brood War CD exploded in my CD drive back in like... 99. I was very unhappy about it

You wanna piece of me, boy?

That happened to my Broodwar cd a few months back..

I was in a 2/2 with a buddy and it shattered, I droped from the game and sent him a text with a thousand pieces of bw in my hand, haha. It was awesome. I think i lost the pic

EDIT: there was a crack in the cd, which I assume caused it to go boom..

EDIT EDIT: The drive still works
