Re-surfacing CDs so they work again.:
A simple way to remove scratches from a cd so you can get your data back off the disc again.
Seen on the MAKE blog. I tried it but no luck: I suspect I didn’t polish long enough. The disk I am working with shows up in the OS just fine, all tracks are identified: one of them can’t be read reliably. Where does a CD read from, outer to inner or inner to outer? The damaged track is the last track, so perhaps that would help me locate the scratch. I don’t see anything serious, just the usual scuffs . . . .
