    If its minor scratches on the disc then try a cd repair machine (like a disc dr.) If its major scratches that reach the data layer, or parts of the data layer are damaged/missing, then you're SOL.

    I got a weird suggestion but it may damage your equipment in the long run..

    Along with loonylion's idea of repairing the disc, you could try coping them..


    One time I bought a ps2 game, sad to say the disc failed to work, however I tried to duplicate the iso image from it.



    I put it in my burner drive, set the read speed to 1x, and waiting...it took over an hour, and had to put up with the burner going ballistic.




    But this was the only way to get the disc working...so the copy works better than the original ;D



    Funny enough I got a refund on that disc as the place were supposed to check the condition to be playable (the damage was superficial...but what you couldn't see was how bad it was...)

    Quys thanks a lot for your advices but i speaking about a program or something.....the cd isn't a game cd,it contains various files like mp3's and videos.can you find a program to read the files?THANKS A LOT


    By the way shaving foam (LOL)is the best thing for destroyed cd's
    PS:
    i had read a litle article about a program that reads the destroyd cd's and the deleted files from the HARD DRIVE!

    About the hard drive thing...I think you need to get thoe files out first...or use a virtual cd drive-like a pc game emulator but for cd images, commonly known as iso's.

    Hrm...one option is to click and drag until it won't let you.


    Making an iso of that is pointless but I'd copy the iso and burn that anyway.
