i done seen that the closest BB is like 30 or more miles from me

i got Need For Speed Carbon and it has some marks on it still readable but it will not run for the few marks on it thats why i am asking.

 

"As the CD's contents are preserved, a scratched CD can be recovered by polishing its plastic surface. If, after carrying out the above cleansing, the CD persists in giving reading errors, just polish the CD with toothpaste. That's right, toothpaste. It works wonders, and you won't spend a fortune buying professional cleaning kits. Polish the scratches with a cotton swab, rubbing gently the paste-imbued swab over the scratches until they disappear or until you notice that you have removed them as far as possible. Sometimes the paste may cause new scratching, but it will be merely superficial and easily removed. After clearing the scratches, wash the CD in water.

If there are still scratches that the toothpaste has not managed to removed, use a metal polish (Brasso) in the same way as described above. Finally, rub Vaseline on the CD, very gently (do not press hard), from moving out from the centre to the rim."

^^^This apparently works wonders for people. But I'm too much of a chicken to experiment with my $70 Oblivion disc. :|

 

Another thing you could do, is through software. If the disc isn't too scratched, you could use a software like IsoBuster that can recover data from scratched discs allowing you do write them in a new one. Hope it helps (but toothpaste does work wonders, try that first!)

 

Have you tried contacting the manufacturers? They may be able to replace the disk for you. Or check at where you got it on their return policies. Good luck.

 

Does toothpaste work on DVD scratches ?????
If not how could I repair scratches on my DVD ????
