Probably, every user of a personal computer has encountered problems when a CD or DVD disc does not want to transmit or reproduce information in any way. As practice shows, such media are very common all over the world, so there are numerous questions about information recovery.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - disk;
- - Toothpaste;
- - towel;
- - warm water.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to understand the reason why the disc was damaged. Despite the different ways of storing discs, they still deteriorate. For example, you are constantly shifting the disc from the table to the box and vice versa. In this case, the surface becomes worse each time.
Step 2
If your disc has numerous scratches, do not throw it away immediately. As practice shows, in many cases, information recovery is possible. To do this, use the tools at hand, namely toothpaste. Don't think this is a simple joke. Gently apply a small layer of toothpaste to the surface of the disc. The part from which the information is read is used.
Step 3
Next, try to smoothly grind the entire mass over the area of the disc, while wetting it with water. Wait a couple of minutes and rinse off all the paste from the surface with water. Try to do this slowly so as not to cause damage. Take a towel and gently wipe down the disc, starting in the middle.
Step 4
Insert the disc into your computer's drive and try copying the information to your hard drive. It is also worth noting that it will be impossible to scratch the information from the disc in the middle of the surface, and at the same time it shines through, we can say with complete confidence that the information is lost forever, and no software will help in this case.
Step 5
In general, we can say that information on a disk can be restored only if the surface is not severely damaged. In other cases, it will be impossible to restore the data, so try to create copies of disks or store all information on a USB flash drive. If you lose information on a USB drive, you can restore it in faster ways.
