Hi:

I just bought a couple of games from Barebones Software
(who so far in two purchases provide fast fast service)
and one of those games was Kings Quest II.  When the game
boots it causes my disk drive to bump and grind for 
about 10 seconds.  I assume this is copy protection at work.
Can this bump and grinding misalign or otherwise hurt
the disk drive?  Next question: this game was produced in
1985 and the graphics are quite primitive.  How is the game
itself?
