How to Recover Your Damaged CDs, How To Recover Your Scratched CDs Data

I learn an elderly technique to how to retrieve damaged or scratched disks with some lost of data. Here we lid some special technique of how to make a full working CD from the scratched one.

First of all some tools wll be needed :

1.Alcohol 120%

2.UltraISO

3.Windows XP/2000 (not tested on 95/98/me)

4.Small fragment of cotton

5.Dry cleaner paper

6.Oil for cooking

Steps :-

Step 1.  Preparing the CD : Get the cotton and fall some water, begin cleaning vertically the surface of CD. Do it 3-4 times and dry the water with a fragment of dry cleaner paper.
With a novel piece of cotton, fall some oil. Dry carefully now. Some particles of oil will bear upon the micro surface of the scratch. Its okay. Seems the oil helps the laser of the CD/DVD driver to read the surface again. Sure this will work with small unreadable scratchs.
Some difficult scratches loose parts of the surface of the CD where we have data and its lost forever, but if it is loosed attempt anyway.

With this tip 80% of the small scratched CSs could be recoveres.

Step 2.  Testing the CD : With Alcohol 120% make an ISO  image making wizard and lets mark if the app can read the loosed surface. In my model Alcohol 120% had recovered 60% of the data. This is not enough. Have tried other apps, they do not retrieve all the data. But the CD/DVD driver laser CAN retrieve every data in this standard. The data is yet there, what we do ?

Step 3.  Making the fresh CD : With the foremost feign routine of windows explorer you can do it. Just create one folder with the same designate of the CD label for future singe reference, and imitate the CD content to the folder. When the CD copy process find the scratch, in majority of the cases, its stupid down the reading and will recover every loosed data.

 If not my model, 

Finally windows explorer got all the data from the scratch and made a ape in the folder with the ultraISO, wrote the new CD label, drop the content of the folder and save as Iso. You can Test the original CD tolerable mounting the iso in the Alcohol 120%. In my case I did ISO of the two discs from MAX PAYNE 2 and tested installing from the mounted ISO. Works imagination a charm. I got the 4 MB lost again. So, I have burned the CD and now I have a working mimic from the scratched one. 

Sounds too fantastic, but works. Course you can hop the cleaning process and attempt to savage the content with Windows explorer. But in my model did not travail without oil.
