Does Water Build Calluses

When to use an original CD becomes a "sin"



The other day I had a strange story, in my Dell-branded computer company I inserted a CD of Windows XP Professional for save
are the ISO for use in the virtual machine. In mid-reading, I heard a bad noise, I thought some had fallen scaffolding cable wire that I have under the table and instead .... surprise .... the noise was coming from inside my computer! I do not know why ... instinctively ... I open the CD tray and the noise stops but I find this scenario!

Well yes ... a nice explosion by with all the trimmings!
The next day I decide to call the Dell to ask for warranty replacement of the player (which is actually a DVD and Blue-Ray player with SATA connection). The coach was clearly amazed at what has happened but I said no guarantee of goodness that I inserted the CD (original XP !!!!), that if Dell was going with a CD then that the guarantee was valid .. . so instead ... NO! Advised me to call Microsoft and while mom sent me an offer for a replacement (... sure ...).
I call Microsoft and the young lady, nice to meet charity but I feel that they can do nothing because the product is no longer supported XP and then ... nothing! I said that I do not have a problem with the software, but that their original CD I damaged the DVD player, I did the provocative question asking what would happen if the CD had exploded Win a 7 ... I had no answer.

Summary:
"We are obviously all my fault because I put an original XP CD that exploded in my player!"

Today I removed all the various bits from the player and the result is this ... you do!
