 I just remembered. My son's motherboard has
a CD with all of his drivers on it (audio,
video, IDE, etc.) and it has scratches through
the data layer that are very long and obvious.

 We have installed all drivers without problems
from that disc several times. I assume that the
scratches are over data for other MB's as the
disc supports several models of MB.
