Is there a way to repair a cracked CD.?

first you go over to the band-saw and cut a clean line through the CD along the crack. Then you take it to the belt-sander and sand that thing down till you have a perfect, clean, straight edge. Now you want someone to weld the two halves together. Someone in your neighbourhood likely can "plastic weld" When  the welding is done you just take the rough bits off back at the belt-sander and finnish it off with some 800 grit sandpaper and BLAMO. good as new (!)\n\nPS what is so important tha you cant live without it but didn't care to look after?

The CD you lost very well may have had Net MD Simple Burner and a Net MD Driver. Contact Sony about a replacement CD or just download the program and driver from \nhttp://www.gooduse.com/netmd.html \nIf you have any compatibility issues, you'll need to obtain the CD.\nI hope i've been of assistance

there are machines that do CD repair, but i dont believe that they work very well in the first place, especially because they only sell in catalogs, aside from that i dont think there are many ways to repair a scratched CD, pop it in and try to burn a copy (cross ur fingers and hope it works)\n\ndo not wash CD's it will only do more harm

Hi,\n\nBefore you try another CD, first try the CD on a different computer or drive, and if you are still getting the same problems, i suggest trying another CD..

You can go to Windows CD. Boot off the CD and select repair System. It should reinstall any missing files.\nAfter you do that you will want to do an automatic update to see if the files have been updated since the release of your CD.\nI am not sure if it will work but you could just try doing an Automatic Update and see if it installs the missing CD.

Try to open it by all means: double click, right click open, etc. If it won't work, you will have to un-install it and then install it again but in any partition that has enough hard disk memory. Or another option is to empty the partition that acts as scratch disc (I guess it's C:) from some large files (move them to D or E).\nHope it works.

Try opening it with an unfolded paper clip: There is a small hole just under the CD tray. Insert the unfolded clip until the tray pops out.\nYou probably have a mechanical problem. Check if any foreign objects are in the drive. Although I'm almost sure it will be unusable.

no need for specs on this - what you're gonna have to do is take that f*cker in, and get it fixed, or take it apart by yourself, have the warranty voided, take the CD out, and pray to whatever god there is out there that it still works.

There is a small pin hole on the front side of the CD drive below the tray. Insert a paper clip that has been straightened and press it hard. Hopefully it should open. If not the only other way is to disconnect the drive and then unscrew the covers and slowly try and lift the lever which locks the tray and then lift and push the tray out.But before you do all this try and first reboot the system just to see if the CD can be ejected.

Either the CD is faulty (perhaps it wasn't finalised correctly) or the drive is.\n\nTry a lens cleaning cd first (you can purchase this at most PC and electronics stores).  If that doesn't work, try the CD in another drive (maybe on another PC).  If you still can't read it, then the CD is faulty.

I think the CD is damaged, it probably is not a problem with your computer. The fact that you successfully installed Win98 is a good indicator that it is not your computer. You need to obtain another disk of XP.

If that CD is not Re-writable then u can't erase it,otherwise u can use NERO BURNING ROM SOFTWARE for erase thar disk.

Just burn it as a data cd. It should be fine you should be able to re-install it from the disk you make. Also put a word file with the serial if it required a serial # to install a full version on the cd as well. Thanks
