you guys know when sometimes your game CD get scratched? and when you start playing, it gives you a black screen then say something in wrote 'texts':freak:

Well i've tried everything, i tried cleaning it with glass spray, boiling it, putting in the sun for a whole day.. nothing worked!

then i browse internet, and i found that you can buy a laser that fixes scratches from your CDs , well they're too expensive..?

well how do you clean CD without that sort of LAser?

I have this spray especially for cleaning CDs, that I use to clean...and they work perfectly.

I use a Clean DR (or it's called something like that anyway...), good enough for medium to light scratches. Too bad I haven't been able to find it since I moved, though.

Turtle wax the guys at blockbuster use it for dvd movies and they mentioned it. I figured i would try it out worked great on a scratched up copy of Far Cry.

Almost all of my discs are imaged on my hard disk. Compact discs are extremely unreliable.

I think it's called Scratch Dr. I have heard folks using toothpaste to polish the disk. Now if it's a playstation/xbox disk do what seemingly everybody else does. Go to blockbuster, rent the same game, replace their shiny disk with your scratched one. Last I looked blockbuster had ID markings on games.

I, too, mount my disks. I use Alcohol120, but Daemon Tools will work as well.

Untrue. Treat them with respect and they'll last forever...or until your little brother/sister gets a hold o'em.

In which case you use D-Tools to mount 'em, like others above have stated. But for a damaged disc, I've always had pretty good luck just doing a duplicate copy on Nero/CloneCD/Alcohol at the lowest speed. Takes a year, but it generally worked. :nerd:
