    Hi all,

    This morning I was installing lab software on a new Dell in the lab. After
    installing the four or fifth CD program, I placed another CD in the drive.
    The autorun program brought up the install window. As soon as I
    double-clicked the install icon, I heard an awful noise and my heart sank.
    At first I didn't realize what the sound was but I knew I wasn't good. I
    pushed the button to open the drive and there inside the drive was a
    completely shattered (new) CD for Kidspiration. I am certain the CD was
    laying flat in the drive (I'm very cautious), but nothing like this has ever
    happened to me before. Has anyone had this happen to them? I assume I must
    replace the drive or shake out the gazillon pieces inside (I vote replace).
    What in the world would cause such a thing to happen?
