Me thinks that your CD had a crack in it. If there is a crack in the CD going out from the middle hole then NEVER use it again as there is a huge risk of it shattering into millions of little pieces. Its not a myth, if you use cracked CDs then its going to happen sometime.

I have a regular CD-rom drive and a CD-RW drive. I was surprised to see that I am able to use the RW as a regular drive.

Therefore, if any of my CDs ever explode and destroy one of my drives, I will still have one drive left over.

Right now, NONE of my CDs are cracked. They're ok.

Right now, my regular drive is making some wierd noises as I use it. So right now, I'm just using my RW drive in case my regular one EXPLODES instead of the CD. Roll Eyes

I should have said this earlier, but I never knew that exploding CDs existed. Thanks for the warning.

If you use the appropriate No-CD patch, as I have always done, there is no risk of this happening - unless you need to reinstall the sim. In this case, always examine the CD carefully before inserting it into the drive.
