Scratched shiny top layer of cd?

I have scratched to top ( not the burnt side!)of a cd with documents etc on but when trying to copy to a new disc an error occurs .


possibly because the laser can not read where there is lack of reflection.


What can I use to make the top shiney/ reflect again?Scratched shiny top layer of cd?
I'm afraid you're out of luck. You won't be able to repair your CD. The best you'll be able to do is save what you can from that CD and write a new one.

Re-polish a CD with toothpaste and a damp cloth.
This may sound ridiculous, I know. But get peanut butter and spread it on the scratched part of the disc. Let it sit there for about five minutes. Then rinse it off under cool water. It always works. I remember on time I had dropped my Sims CD and it didn't work anymore. But then I did this and it worked great and everything was back on there!
