I saw an article somewhere where this had happened and what it turned out to be was the Disc had a tiny minute crack in it near the middle(so small, the naked eye couldnt see) and had disintergrated. ;)
:blink: I'm still sch0cked !!! :angry:
We need RPM limiters :rolleyes:
A crack may not have been the cause, it could be that when the drive was performing the drive check (when its first inserted) that a fault caused the motor to switch to maxinum. The trouble is there isnt realy anything that explain this, appart from interal damage, anomaly caused from corrupt data.

Great. I finally started to trust my computer <_<
Wouldn't a CD - desintegrating drive set off all kinds of alarms at Quality Control ?
Seems awfully dangerous to me. Perhaps you could sue the manufacturer for attempted assault ;)
Sure man ... I'll write an e-mail so Samsung: "Hey Sasmung, your DVD drive tried to kill me with a CD ... murderer.I want $1.000.000 + a new DVD drive" :lol:Quote:

send them the letter. I'm sure you wont get $1.000.000, but you will proberly get soemthing back. How about sending it in the post with the broken CD or DVD drive.Quote:

This happened to me a couple of years back on my old PC.
I was playing online, and my friend was behind me watching when all of a sudden there was a crunch and it was spat out of the drive and fired across my living room. It disintegrated into the opposite wall and left a huge mark where plaster had come off.
I swear to god, if that had hit my friend behind me, he would of incurred serious injuries. I believe the drive was a Philips, although it could have been the disk itself, although it was a legit copy (Game).
