In all seriousness, I’ve always thought the platters were extremely thin inside a HDD, but never actually had one open. That looks quite thick actually.
They make excellent coasters and those magnets ensure things will NEVER fall down
Use a hammer.
What you have there is a hard disk drive. In order to fit it into the CD drive (or Compact Disk drive) you need to first compact it! A hydraulic press is the preferred method.
Hard disks may fragment when one tries to compact them. It will need to be defragmented afterwards.
Softer disks are more amenable to be compressed into compact disks, floppy ones work best.
Welcome to the hydroooolic press channel. Today we press hard disk.
and now ve must deel veet it.
You have to lick it to get it to stick to the laser.
Because they are prefab ninja stars.
Too big, use this:
Have you tried a dvd player?
Poka yoke?
You have to sand it down to fit. Easy mistake to make
Did you try microwaving the CD?
Have you tried pushing it really hard?
maybe op didn’t realize it’s a HD, thus it needs to be driven hard into position
It’s a common misconception to try this in the cd drive. You actually have to insert it in floppy drive slot (nowadays only really old computers have them). You might have to push it in with a bit of force though, because they tend to lock up if you haven’t used them for a while…
You have to use toothpaste (if I remember correctly).
That’s a drinks coaster.
