Re: CD recovery?

Sadiyah some CDs are not compatible with some drives, so before taking any risk try to run your CD in some other drivers, like at your friends place or somewhere else to recover your data. Believe me some drives love to play damage CDs even they don't run new CDs, this happens to me many times when i play new CDs on some drives it doesn't play but some old scratched CDs run on the same drives first class.

Re: CD recovery?

I guess I'll put the CD aside now. I'll wait till I'm done with the exams and then I might try out some of the ideas and solutions shared in this thread. I suppose running it on an old PC would be better than ruining my new laptop.

Re: CD recovery?

this might be a bit late but here it is....

Read-on, if you find yourself wishing for a miracle every time your fav CD is scratched:

Home Remedy :
here's an easy home remedy, which might give you the desired results. Rub a small amount of toothpaste on the scratch and polish the CD with a soft cloth and any petroleum-based polishing solution (like clear shoe polish). Squirt a drop of Brasso and wipe it with a
clean cloth.

Technology to the rescue
There are many softwares available on the net, which enable the recovery of the CD data. BadCopy Pro is one such software, which can be used to recover destroyed data and files from a range of media.

Just a few clicks is all it requires to recover the disc from almost all kind of damage situation; be it corrupted, lost data, unreadable or defective.

DiskDoctors is another popular company, which offers both software and solutions to recover data from a scratched CDs and DVDs.

General Tips:
* Always wipe the CD from the center outward with stratight spoke- like strokes. Wiping CDs in circles will create more scratches.

  • Do not scratch the graphics layer as you cannot repair the disc.
    HINT: Hold the disc up to a light with the graphics layer facing the
    light source. If you can see light thru the scratches at any point
    then the disc may be irreparable and or exhibit loading or playing
    errors.

  • Clean your Disc players lens regularly with a suitable product to ensure optimal viewing pleasure.

  • Make sure to use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean both sides of the disc. Wipe in a straight line from the centre of the disc to the outer edge.

  • If wiping with a cloth does not remove a fingerprint or smudge, use a specialized DVD disc polishing spray to clean the disc.

  • Only handle the disc by its outer edge and the empty hole in the middle. This will help prevent fingerprints, smudges or scratches.

Statistics:

*Fingermarks/prints cause 43% of disc problems!
* General wear & tear causes 25% of disc problems!
* Player-related issues cause 15% of disc problems!
* User-related issues cause 12% of disc problems!
* PlayStation 2 machine scratches cause 3% of disc problems!
* Laser rot (a manufacturer error) causes 2% of disc problems!
