Sorry for noob question but...

i just accidentaly dropped a permanent marker on the shiney side of a cd-rw and it made a small mark/line etc. Will this stop the cd from reading?

thanks =)

wipe it off.....you could probably use metho and get it off without damaging the cd, but i would check up on that before doing it :)

also depends where the line is and which way etc.

No, it actually increases the performance of the cd.

line is right on the outside edge, maybe 2cm long and half a cm thick. The line is goin inwards...

Isocol?? i think its called..a rubbing alcohol. If you get it all off the disc should be fine IMO.

cd seems to be reading fine in my cd-rw drive, should a dvd player have any problems reading it?

Haha

Just clean it off you noob-a-saurus.

8-)

Aerosol is f***ing ace for cleaning off marker and pretty non-abrasive I'd imagine, being designed for use on skin and all

Ever think about trying it?

He did but he wanted to point out that he owns a permanent marking permanent marker.

permanent marker on writeable side of cd ?

that's where you're supposed to put s***, on the writeable side you nub. Of course it's not going to bother it one little bit.

Then what do you call the other side? oh great know-it-all-ass-of-whooping.

uh, the data side? wanker

Simple solution.

Copy data off, reburn to a new CD.

as you can see i changed the wording of it

in my first post.. so stop having a cry

So is it working or are you still sitting there looking at it wondering if it will work??

should work fine lol

I posted a solution and it was so simple it made me want to shoot myself in the face that you'd even need to post for help.

try writing over it with non-permanent marker and wiping it off, it works for whiteboards, then you dont have to risk the alcohol/whatever damaging your disc.

So is it working

yes its working, and the only reason i asked was because cd's get hot when they are in the drive and i didnt know whether it would like melt onto it and go all gay or something.. Better to be safe than sorry.

Better to be safe than sorry.

If only your mother thought of that.

SLUGGED!
