I have a broken CD which I've taped but when I put it inside the CD- ROM it makes scary noises. I don't want the CD to fly inside the computer and ruin it so can I run the CD while its ejected? Any type of firmware or software change?

Assuming this isnt a joke post:

I doubt you will ever get an optical drive to read a cd thats been broken and taped up lol
Anyway you look at it, you run the risk of the disc breaking apart and trashing your optical drive.
 


The correct word is troll post. :p
