I wonder whether it's only a matter of centrifugal force. My guess -- & it's only a guess -- is that the failed disk was warped or misaligned. If it jammed, torque would finish the job. And the higher the speed the more likely that a disk will flutter & jump the track. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
