German fairy tales on HMRC Employer CD-Rom

I have to file my P35 and P14. I reach for for HMRC Employer CD-ROM for 2008-09. It appears to be malfunctioning, with a series of audio tracks and no data. So I call the Online Services Helpdesk and report the issue. The response? That a very small number of the CD-ROMs were incorrectly loaded with German fairy tales. There you go, check your CD-ROM.
