And the worst of them all is if the CD itself being damaged or something not right :( This problem 'cd drive reading process' has happened a lot with me in the past from built-in drives despite taking extremely care of my stuffs. And also, unable to read the CD inserted. It's also a possibility of the external drive from being discontinued sooner or later. It's not just because of non built-in CD-ROMs anymore. This is precisely why I started this thread too.
Question: What do you do, when one of your FS2004 CD's gets damaged?
