CD’s are definitely on the verge of becoming obsolete but still some of us use them to store data or more specifically movies and songs. DVD’s are definitely a better option to store data as they save more and are less prone to scratches. Still we have all been to situation where we somehow lose data because of some damage on CD/DVD. In such a situation you can either use a toothpaste to recover the data on your CD if they are just scratches or you can also use few softwares if the degree of damage is high.

Little toothpaste can be applied on the surface of the optical media with a clean cloth to help you retrieve data on your optical media. And if that doesn’t work then you can use CD Recovery Toolbox which can recover files from damaged or corrupted CD/DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray disks. It is a freeware and it can get data from your CD back which was considered as dead. You can even use a trialware called CD Check which can help you retrieve data.
