Has anyone ever heard of...

A program CD losing all the data?
..
People think I am potty saying this has happened, but my Pandromeda CD, 
which although has a black top with a brown design thereon, I am sure was 
clear in the middle, and obviously had the normal ****ny stuff on the
bottom.
..
Not any more.
It's wiped clean and the data side has turned black and smooth as a baby's

bum.
Logic (a-hem) seems to suggest that some sort of radiation could zap it,
but 
what happened to the coating??
What the heck is going on? Nobody can tell me anything so, I thought of
you 
lot.
..
And I won;t even start to whine about my missing PCI bridges and Bus 
Controllers. I don;t know what the heck they are, anyway, and were they 
there to start with? because they are not there now with big yellow 
exclamation marks next to them and yes, I have got a new computer and no,
it 
isn't working properly, why do you ask?
..
I am getting too old for this, you know.
