if i use a cd to many times will i burn up all the data on it?

Question

i i use my windows cd to much will i start to loose the data on it

Answer 1

No, when your drive is using a cd it reads the data by reflecting a laser off of its surface like a mirrior and reading the microscopic bumbs and interpreting them into data, there is no burning involved and its impossible to reflect it out of existance.

It is possible to scratch a cd or dammage it so that the data is not read properly however, and its is much more common as I myself do it as well, simple cd neglect.

Answer 2

No. Reading data from a CD will not hurt it. Scratching the CD will. Usually when a CD goes bad is because it was physically scrathed or broken. And the more you use it, the more you are likely to scratch or otherwise damage it.

So it is recommended that if you have an important CD (like Windows or other programs, a game you play for CD,etc.) that you make a copy of the CD, put the original away, and use the copy. Then if it is lost or damaged, you still have the original.

Answer 3

I would make sure you store it in a place where it would not get beat up. It's not so much if you use it, it will start to mess up; it's if you let the CD get scratched up. I'm sure after frequent use it would start to deteriorate, but not for a while.

Answer 4

Unless there is something wrong with the laser in your CD-Rom drive, the CD shouldn't become unaccessible after using it many times.

I bet this can happen, but it shouldn't. If it is, something is wrong with the CD or the drive.

Answer 5

There is a usage limit but it is so high most people will never hit it. The bigger problem is scratches and dirt. You can clean them with commercially available kits or eye glass cleaner and the soft cloth that comes with it works fine too.

Answer 6

no..
