I had been on the Internet for quite a while now. It was about 3pm. My mate was in the room and he asked me for a network game of Championship Manager. I accepted and he passed me the CD.

Everything was fine as I inserted the CD. For some reason, the CD drive had trouble reading the CD. I removed the CD and had a check. It looked fine so I put the CD back in.

After a few seconds of replacing the CD, BOOM!!! The CD had shattered inside the CD drive. I opened the drive and lots of small CD pieces fell to the floor.

I have never seen this happen before. I deducted that the drive did it although it was fine 3 hours before the incident. So that means I have no Championship Manager CD and the CD drive is now useless as there are still pieces of the CD stuck in the drive.

(Please do not have a go at me for playing Championship Manager and I did put the CD in properly.) :)
