Due to scratches that occur during careless use, discs often stop being read. In this case, you can try to restore the disk, but this is not always possible. Programs can come to the rescue that will help to copy from damaged media, but the scratches will have to be removed first.
Necessary
- - tooth or fine abrasive paste;
- - soft tissue;
- - AnyReader.
Instructions
Step 1
Polishing is best to get rid of scratches on the back of the disc. Using toothpaste will be the best and most effective method of restoring a wearer at home. The reason that the disc stops being read after damage is a violation of the structure of the transparent layer through which the read laser of the drive passes.
Step 2
Place the disc on a soft and level surface with the damaged side up. Make sure the rag and towel are clean, i.e. there are no solid particles, crumbs or sand left on them.
Step 3
Apply some toothpaste to the surface and start rubbing it gently. To do this, use only a soft cloth that will definitely not leave additional scratches on the disc.
Step 4
As soon as the paste begins to dry slowly, rinse the disc under running hot water, and then repeat the procedure again.
Step 5
Make sure that the disc is dry and free of any solid particles or sand before re-placing the disc in the drive. Rinse the disc thoroughly so that no paste remains visible.
Step 6
Insert the disc into your computer's drive and copy all the necessary files from it. If the disc is still unreadable, then you can repeat the polishing procedure.
Step 7
Install AnyReader, which will help you read data from a damaged disk. The peculiarity of the program is that it allows reading information even if reading errors occurred during copying.
Step 8
Run the program and follow its instructions. The utility has a step-by-step interface (5 stages of work). After the recovery procedure, all your data should be saved.
