![]() ![]() Please follow this tutorial at your own risk. I personally have had success following these steps, but I will not accept responsibility if following these steps causes loss of data or damage to equipment. The steps I detail here have the potential to damage your disk and/or your drive if you follow them. I accept no responsibility for loss of data or damage to your disk or your disk drive Particularly with CDs, this is a very vulnerable side of the disk, and scratching the label can physically destroy the data on the disk. ![]() Do *not* scrub the label side of the diskĪssuming your disk isn’t one of the rare double-sided types, please don’t scrub the label side of the disk. Please make sure your disk is fully cleaned and dry before putting it into your optical drive, or you may permanently damage your drive. Do *not* put wet disks into your optical drive If you overdo it and wear down the plastic too much, exposing the metal underneath, it may make the disk totally unreadable. If the disk is really really badly scratched (like my one that I used sandpaper on), this may not improve the situation at all – it’s far more likely to be effective if you have a few bad scratches, rather than the whole disk being covered in them. There are a number of things that can go wrong here, so I want to make sure you are aware of the following things: There is no guarantee that this will help in every case Why on earth would toothpaste work with recovering data off scratched optical media? I must admit I was very skeptical the first time I tried it, but it worked, so I’ve decided to make a blog post and video describing how I did it with a disk I sandpapered. So this is one of those things that sounds like total nonsense. ![]()
