Step One: (My CD is dirty!)


1) If it is dust, take a soft cloth or cotton and gently rub the CD (or DVD), taking the CD with your finger in the central hole. Do not touch the surface engraved!

2) If the DVD is fatty or oily, mix baby shampoo in very hot water and use cotton (clothing or soft) to rub the surface of the CD recorded with this solution. Wait while the CD is dry before you read it or store it in its box.

3) If there are fingerprints on the CD, a soft cloth dipped in alcohol at 90 ° and gently rub the surface of the burned CD. Never use solvent-based products such as acetone! This completes your CD!

4) If you do not drink at home, use of mineral water to rub the CD. In fact, tap water at a higher concentration of salt, leaving the white marks on the surface of the CD.

5) Do not rub the CD by following the direction of rotation of the latter but still rub the hole center to the edges with several return.

6) If despite all that you do not, there are in-store products that promise to repair scratched CDs ... so I never tested, so I can not tell you how it goes ... But this is not overlook!


Step Two (It does not always!)

Despite the intensive cleaning, your DVD player still refuses to play your CD! Do not panic, this is still not completely screwed!
There are software programs that can help you recover your valuable data:

1) CD Check - Detects and recovers damaged files on CDs. CD Checks can also be used to test the proper operation of your CDs and prevent any problems.

2)
Unstoppable Copier - Available for Windows and Linux. It is a freeware that can copy files from CD with a few concerns such as bad sectors, scratches or that just causes errors when reading data. Normally with Windows, when your computer can not copy a damaged file, it will give up and remove the small piece of data they managed to copy. Unstoppable Copier will prevent this and continue copying until the end. Each data innaccessible will be replaced by a blank.

3) IsoBuster - Supports CD and DVD. It has tons of options for data recovery and the standard version is free!
