Okay so once I had a file I had to give a friend and It was on a disc partially cracked (but it was only like a 100mb file so it was all towards the center).

He gives me my disc back in a bag in a ton of pieces. 🙂 He got the file of before it exploded though.

I thought Macs came with hand-cranks for their cd-roms…

Has anyone had a disc explode in their drive before (like non cracked?)
