AndyFair 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Metal polish (Brasso if you're in the UK) works a treat! Failing that, a disc doctor will also work - especially with deeper scratches. Rgds AndyF Share this post Link to post

AndyFair 0 Posted September 17, 2004 If the CD is scratched, no amount of free software will be able to read the disk - if the laser is being diverted by the scratch, software won't be able to compensate. Go out and by some Brasso Rgds AndyF Share this post Link to post
