Connor Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well, I was playing Vice City, it was all going fine, then I heard a big cracking snap, then the computer just went, "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!". I ran to the switch and turned the thing off. Out popped the disc tray, reveals a shattered half of my disc, then I spent ages opening up my computer, opening up the disc drive, then pouring out the dust what was made from my cute little Vice City disc. Thought that was worth a topic, it has a little lesson in it too, don't leave discs in your computer non-stop for over a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Reminds me of the time my PC sheared all the film from my AOEIII disc, all that was left was a clear circle.... Also, owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishoM Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I remember I left some PC game disc in my laptop for quite some time, it can barely read the disc now! So many scratches! At least mine didn't explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yea, but, I still have my install disc. So I guess I could find ways to play it still, if you catch my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas. Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I remember you telling me this on MSN and I was like "are you serious". I've had something like that happen to me and my computer before. The closest thing to an "Exploding Disc" I have ever had was throwing a disc out a window with anger. I hope your able to play GTA: Vice City again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX22B1998 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 LOL... Ya exactly right. you should have just made a backup ISO (like I do with heaps of my games) keep the ISO on the hard disk, then put the disc back in the cover, and leave it there. Only for if you need to reinstall That way no younger siblings / family / idiots can scratch / ruin / explode? your disc/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Weird. I literally leave my SA disk in the drive all the time. Are you sure the drive is okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for if you need to reinstall That way no younger siblings / family / idiots can scratch / ruin / explode? your disc/s Not always a solution. Some games prevent that. The Sims 2, for example. I tried running it on a backup disk and it flat out told me to use the real disk and not a backup. Well, SHIT, if I could use the original, WHY would I be using a backup!?

WRX22B1998 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Well there ARE ways around it... That's as far as I'll go since its gotten a little uptight here Get Daemon Tools and mount ISO. Then use YASU and cloak the drive.

Mpilk901 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Install it onto a hard drive , simple as that. Edited February 21, 2008 by FallenClyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I was going to take a picture, and thought I'd show you guys, then I remembered I didn't have any cameras accessible to me at that moment.. It did happen though, I wouldn't bother telling you about something that didn't happen... But I can show you my empty case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 That happened to me once. I was burning a movie, had it on like 8x or something. And the disk blew up, I had to get 2 new burners, video card, usb drives and a case, plus some of it went into my arm and I started bleeding. That was a fun week, but that's going back, 2 years ago now. Nothing happened since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Install it onto a hard drive, simple as that. If the game blocks back-ups((which, I don't figure Vice City does, I'm just saying)), then that would count as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 I feel really sad now... Meh, I'll try some other methods of getting it back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
