Google may help in finding replacements.

Yes, I know that doesn\'t help. It\'s the best answer I can give. What else can you expect from a Freelance Bum?

BTW, you got in a wreck? I\'d be more worried about myself/the car.

I\'m sorry to say this but you can\'t really repair CDs. Have you tried playing them? I don\'t think the top of a CD affects the actual disk, so you might be in luck.

yeah i\'ve scrathed the tops of my CD\'s before. nothing big happened they still played. They sell those one do-hickys that it peels on layer of the bottom off (the scrathed layer) and then it still plays on the bottom layer. My brothers girlfriend had one..... it worked on my videogames too.....

But yeah i know i would rather brake my arm than loose my CDs. And i would wonder that if a cd could get so messed up in a wreck, how did mr. Windrider fair in it?

How DO you repair scratches on CDs?

My little brother messed up my .hack//Outbreak PS2 game this morning, the bottom is covered in scratches.

If there are scratches on the top, sorry, there is no way of fixing them. Also, if they are CD recordables, the all data on the disk will be unuseable/readable soon.

Yeah..CD data is held on the top of the disc. If there\'s bad scratches on the top..then you\'ve already lost some of the data.

And yes, I was in a wreck. THe car was totalled, and I, came out without a scratch. Didn\'t even get much of a mark from the seatbelt. Come on now, you all know I don\'t die. Pity... I always wanted to know what flying through a windshield feels like.

As for your Hack disk. They sell CD repair kits for like 10 dollars at the store. If the scratches aren\'t too deep, then it should take care of it for a while. You\'ll have to replace the patching goop now and then, but it\'s virtually unharmed.


Thanks! :D
