  [26 April 2005] My computer just destroyed a CD
I mean completely destroyed. I was burning it to my hard-drive, and all of a sudden it started spinning real fast and banging away. I couldn't work out how to stop it so I did a manual reset, which worked.

For a while I couldn't open the CD-drive. When I did, there were nothing but shards of the disk left. And I mean shards. The biggest is like 2x1 inches. Most of it is still stuck inside the case.

Never seen anything like that before. Kinda scary. And I lost a decent CD.
