Rotated My Pc To get a Cd in

[Jamesreeves_2007]

I turned my PC 40 degress to the left and held it like that while i put a "half size" disc into the drive which otherwise would fall out standing up straight. Will my PC be alright? I just worry alot

not sure what the issue wsa/is, shouldn't do anything to it at all unless you like jerk it hard and the hdd gets scratched or something, otherwise can't think of it doing anything

Well my pc Is a small slimlime machine meaning the Optical drive is Vertical meaning it cant use Small CD's unless its on its side etc.

So it's supposed to be turned that way to read a CD? Why would you worry about that?

just lay it flat down. That will minimize any risk of HDD damage and other related shock damage.

well I've done it now..... you reckon its alright?

But if you think of laptops? xD there moved when in use, they never screw

most laptops also have anchor points (that little circle that holds the CD) in the CD drive, and shock dampers in the hard drives to prevent damage from use in motion. It is possible to get a shock dampered desktop hard drive (just mount a 2.5'' drive in it), and may be possible to get anchored CD drives, but its doubtful that yours has either.
