    Recovering Data from Scratched CDs

    The following information will explain and cover some special, painless techniques on how to create a full working CD from the scratched one. I have personally tested this and had fixed a CD that would not read data at all. This tip works best with small unreadable scratches, as some hard scratches are too deep and loose the data permanently.

    Requirements:

    * Alcohol 120% software (Download here http://software-files.download.com/...9&psid=10158124)
    * Cooking oil
    * Small piece of cotton
    * Dry cleaner paper

    Follow this simple steps to fix a scratched cd for repair purposes:

    1. In step one you must do some preparation work on the CD. Begin by wetting the cotton with water. Begin to clean the CD in a vertical motion; three firm wipes shall be sufficient. Dry the CD with the dry cleaner paper.
    2. Using another piece of cotton, apply oil to the CD surface. Be sure to do this with caution and not overuse oil. After a through cleaning, dry carefully. Particles from the oil will stay on the microsurface of the scratch. It appears that the oil helps the laser of the CD/DVD driver to read the surface again.
    3. After downloading and installing Alcohol 120% software, run the program and select to create an ISO - image making wizard. Attempt to read the CD drive and test if the the Alcohol 120% can read. Alcohol 120% software is recommended for this, as it is known to recover data more efficiently than other ISO software.

        Thanks once again..

        This is very useful. I can sure use this for some of my DVD's...
        There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no chaos: there is harmony. There is no death; there is the Force.
