I saw that episode and the proved it true I believe. Been awhile I can't quite remember.

I saw this "myth" on a show called myth busters, and they proved that a normal cd rom drive cannot blow up a disc. Bare inmind if you warm up the disc ahead of time say in the microwave it will blow up much easier.

When they performed their test they used a router motor, and attached it to the slot where the disc clicks onto. Once it was turned on at peak RPM's it would blow up. But when tested on an average cd rom drive, the disc wasn't affected.

A CD generally only "blows up" in the drive if it has a crack on the inner ring of the disk. I saw this happen to many many people when I used to read the battle.net boards.

Yah, that sounds about right.

That's right. I forgot it was only effective on the routor and not an actual CD-ROM.
