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 sand it down to fit. Easy mistake to make

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.

Yup. Really nice bearings. I also have a few HDD magnets that work well as hold-downs for laser cutting.

Put it back into its CD drive, the one on the table that you took apart for no reason at all, and it’ll work a treat, I promise.

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.
