More is not always better since the cd did not like the added disc. It made alot of noise & even smoked! Scared the living daylights out of me too! I thought it was the pc I had to get ready for work by 8am that fried!


I did the exact same thing in my Pioneer DVD-116! My drive survived, though, and so did both CD's. My 'biggest' PC "oops" so far is I was cutting a wire tie inside a case, and I accidentally cut the IDE cable to the HDD. I had a sneaking suspicion, so I double-checked before I closed up the case, and the thing was sliced in half. Replaced it right away. Checking to see if it was really cut before I booted the system up saved me a lot of potential troubleshooting hassle.
