RS>RS>the scratch(es) are.

RS>JE> I am saying that any scratch or even a pinhole

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

RS> We have installed all drivers without problems

I reckon that would be a logical assumption.
