My sister storms into my room asking if she can play The Sims 2 so i said:"allright,I'll have to install it first thought".
I insert disk 1 and Autorun doens't work:weird.
I go to My Computer and try to run it by clicking on my drive letter.
Doesn't work so I explore the CD and it seems like these files 'are no Win-32 files' => WTF?
Tried to make image with Alcohol=no go.
Now I'm trying to recover the damn cd with CD Data Rescue,hope it works or I'll have to leech it goddammit Evil or Very Mad

i once carved with a knife on the back of a music cd, several huge cuts, you would think it would be ruined. no way, it still played perfect which was really really weird

Fix the scratch with a magic marker, works great.

Like mark over it / fill it in with magic marker? That seriously works?

i remember like 6 years ago when one of my BG2 disks scratched ... i couldnt do the fort quest ofr the barbarian... that was a bitch especially since the idea of that was so novel and cool owning your own fort.

The best thing for scratched CD's is to put some brasso on it. If that doesn't fix it the disk is toast.

scratched cds suck? more DVD's fucking suck! almost 25% of the dvds my wife buys have to be taken back to the shop and exchanged because the stupid fucking peices of shit pause every 2 seconds.

and its not because we have a crappy DVD player as the replacements work fine and the orginal DVDs didnt even have any fucking scratchs on them.

also tested some in my comp and my dvd drive had trouble playing them Evil or Very Mad
