Have you tried it with different CD drives or have you used always the |
| 21 |
same (external) drive? If you are testing several CD drives you maybe |
| 22 |
will find one that is able to read the damaged CD. |

This depends on how the CD is damaged. If it is damaged by scratches |
| 28 |
then you maybe can polish them away. Many years ago I've seen CD polish |
| 29 |
sets available in some online shop, but I never tried this out. |

|
| 31 |
If there are no scratches and it is a self burned CD then I fear you |
| 32 |
will have no chance to restore the data. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I don't know if there is a way to restore the data with some special |
| 35 |
software program. Maybe you should search for that on google. |

Good luck. |
