This user reported that the "Tubular Bells 2003" corrupt CD 'blew' his
DVD-ROM drive.  Later he revealed the full story:

The DVD ROM drive in question was less than a year old and was working
fine up until the time of playing Tubular Bells 2003 with the copy
protection!

Since playing that particular disc, it developed problems reading
other discs and a short while later, it finally locked and wouldn't
eject on trying to read a disc.

I noticed a burning 'electrical' type of smell emanating from the
drive itself.  I promptly switched off the computer.  I've since
replaced the drive and took the copyprotected disc back to the local
Virgin store where I purchased it, backed up with the original
receipt.  I explained to them what had happened and also produced the
invoice issued for the new DVD ROM drive, to which they gave me a
refund.  [Ed: The refund was for the CD not the drive; see below.]

What I particularly feel miffed about is the sheer contempt with which
these record industries treat their customers and what is sad, is that
this particular CD is a great piece of music.  Incidentally, I've
subsequently purchased a non-copy protected version of this album.

Update 24-Jun-2003:

Just to clarify a point though, which was to do with the original
wording on my part.  The Virgin store gave me a refund for the disc
and not the DVDROM drive.
