are visual c++ disks designed to be eaten?

I stuck my visu c++ 6.0 disk into my cdrom and it starts making sounds like the drive is eating the disk. I take it out and it's kinda chewed around the edges. When I stuck it in my other cdrom drive (a cdrw), it didn't make nearly as much noise, except when it started and stopped. The MSDN disk, I tried briefly in said problem drive and it seemed to start to get eaten again.

Several of my other disks do not have this problem. Did microsquash foul up my disks somehow, or is my cdrom drive bad? I tried ripping from this one music cd, full blast and it did not get eaten.

Why 6.0?

Sounds like it's off balance or something. Call MSDN up and request a replacement disk, and in the meantime download the disk from MSDN subscriber downloads and burn yourself a temp copy...
 
"Normal" CDs are weight balances and completely even. I would assume that the CD is what is out of balance due to the fact that you've run a number of other CD's in the drive.
