There's a GAME in the Westgate in Oxford and the GAME website mentions CD cleaning for games, so I might call and check to see if they have the machine. ?3 per disc, so it perhaps might be worth trying on one. When I hold the CD up to the light there are definite pin pricks where I can see the light shining through so I rather suspect that there are some points that are unrecoverable. So maybe not. I also happened across two youtube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpcd-5fd9nY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNV7mDfWuWI) where people do the same sort of thing by hand. I happen to have some 3000 grit wet-and-dry available. I might have a go at that too, although I think I should find a data CD that I don't care about, rough it up and see if I can "unrough it up". Pity I threw away all those AOL CDs years ago :-) Actually, I suspect I have a number of duplicate MSDN CDs, so those might do for experimentation. So far I've just tried using dd to recover the data but perhaps I should try to find something that won't give up when the OS reports an unreadable sector. Anyone have any suggestions?
