Get A Life..You won't be able to do it with any of the software! Try finding a better CD Reader instead (That probably shouldn't work too!)

If you don't know the answer, better not reply to leave signature link. And mind the tone.

You can actually remove the scratches a bit by using a abrasive compund and rubbing the disk in clockwise direction. What is does basically is remove a tiny layer of the plastic and does reduce the depth of the scratches.

Don't whether it was a joke or not. But even if it is true, my layman skills are very poor.

Didn't even realise that it is a software. Thought you missed a space between any and reader. Thanks for the suggestion [MENTION=137025]kalam_gohab[/MENTION]
