RE: human, all too human...

Probably not. The sound you describe happens when a CD is not well balanced
on the spindle (which is pretty common these days). It normally doesn't
damage the drive or the disk--it just sounds bad.

And since the disk was for the wrong OS, your system would not have done
anything with the data on it.

Until next time....

Subject: human, all too human...


the machine or device hasn't been invented that a human cannot abuse or
misuse. Me for instance: my camera came with two software-CDs.

(of course I read a few lines in the instruction
booklet) and shoved in one of those. A noise like some mini-copter landing
came from the comp., no installation dialog showed up, and the drive was
blank!

By now it is obvious that I am on x OS, and the 'other' CD was for y.

==
The question now is, the installation with the right CD  took a long time
does it take so long?
Did I damage the CD thingie or something?


Thanks and regards,
Sankara S Rajanala
