Now what if we have a CD with data, files – important files in it can not be read because it scratched, moldy, etc. On occasion this time will only give priority to writer’s tricks to save the data on scratched CDs.

Now how to save data on a scratched CD? See the physical CD is making sure no dirt on the bottom surface (the sensitive, which is read by optical CD-ROM). If there is dirt or light scratches cleaned with special cleaning fluid CDs, which are sold in bottles sold in cans. If this had been done and the dirt and scratches reduced or lost, then it is definitely all the data in the CD can be saved 98%, 1% of them depend on the quality of writing data to CDs and 1% more error correction quality of the CD-ROM drive.

  6. After trying to copy the strokes reduced data had not read the hard disk drive.
  7. After all the data was saved, check data from corrupted files by opening the data. If OK, immediately backup to the new cd.
  8. CDs that have been polished should not be too long is not backed up, because the surface cd thinner and easier to mold, or if scratched again, the data is unlikely to have been saved.
