Any idea how to repair cds?
-
Wah i just found a long-lost game cd somewhere and it's covered in scratches.Somehow when i tried to run it it was so slow and when i tried to create an iso image of it using ultraiso the process was super-slow compared to the lightning fast sped it was famous for.I then concluded that it was the scratches who had caused this slow reading problem and then now the thing is...how do u remove scratches?I checked about it online and i tried home methods, such as putting toothpaste, hair-conditioner, and putting it in the fridge overnight, but still appears to be unsuccessful.Or do i really need to buy those cleanig-cds kits?If so where are they avaliable?Thx

Provided that the data layer has not rot or scratched yet, you can try disc cleaners sold in computer/CD shops?

the cd has been scratched...but somwhow the drive can read it but very slow

Yo man. how old is the disc?
Sometimes it's not about scratches, it's data loss.
I suggest you transfer the whole disc into your hard drive and burn a new copy of it. -
that's wad im trying to do...but becoz the disc is scratched, so the reading speed is so slow, it takes hours to amke a iso image file
