Before you get to the list of programs that can help you recover data
from scratched CD, I would like to explain to you how does all these
program work. When a disc is badly scratched, that part will become
impossible to read. If you copy the CD contents directly through Windows
copy and paste function, you will definitely get an error saying that
the file is corrupted. But with the programs below, you can copy and
keep the file till the last bit that it was able to copy without error.
That means that it is able to copy whatever it can without giving you
error message and stopping there.
1. Roadkil’s Unstoppable Copier
- Roadkil’s Unstoppable Copier recovers files from disks with physical
damage. Allows you to copy files from disks with problems such as bad
sectors, scratches or that just give errors when reading data. The
program will attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put
the pieces together. Using this method most types of files can be made
usable even if some parts were not recoverable in the end. It’s easy to
use, small, portable and no installation required. Just select the
source, destination and click Copy. This can be used on hard drive as
well.
2. CD Recovery Toolbox
- CD Recovery Toolbox (download) tool was developed for recovering
damaged files from different disk types: CD, DVD, HD DVD, Blu-Ray, etc.
You can use it to restore information lost as a result of some
mechanical damage of the disk (scratches, chips, different spots on the
surface) or as a result of incorrect recording.
3. IsoPuzzle
The goal of this program is to recover as much as possible data of
damaged, bad burned or scratched CDs or DVDs. This version supports only
data CDs and DVDs with sectorsize of 2048 byte - Audio CD, VCD and SVCD
are not supported. Before you can start using IsoPuzzle, you’ll need to download wnaspi32.dll and place it in the IsoPuzzle’s directory.
DOWNLOAD WNASPI32.DLL
4. CDCheck
- CDCheck is utility for prevention, detection and recovery of damaged
files with emphasis on error detection. It can check each your CD/DVD
(or any other media) and indicate which files are corrupted. CDCheck is
actually a shareware but then it’s free for PERSONAL use. You can
request for a free license key at this page.
5. IsoBuster
- IsoBuster is a highly specialized yet easy to use optical media data
recovery tool. It supports all optical disc formats and all common
optical disc file-systems. IsoBuster is also a shareware but you can use
it for free by clicking the “Free funct. only” button when you’re
prompted to register to enable the PRO functionality.
If you’ve tried all 5 free data recovery tool for scratched, damaged
or defective CD but still doesn’t work, you can head on to YouTube,
search for “scratch cd” and take the risk by trying those weird methods
to fix a scratched disc. Try the method that has the most comment and
also success rate. If there are only 5 comments and majority of it says
“it doesn’t work”, then you can forget about it.
Thanks...

You need to verify your information before you blog about it. Roadkil’s Unstoppable Copier works on HDD drives, not optical drives.
