You can recover data from your screwed up disks by using the following simple method!
1) Get something like nail-polish remover from your mum or a deo from your dad

2) get some cotton and wet it with whatever you got from above.
3) rub the transparent plastic side of the disc in a circular motion from the center to outward direction.
4) rub it getnly but yet strongly. I mean don't make more sctraches.
5) put it in the disk reader and VOILA! it runs.
This works for me maybe it can help you also.... I recovered WinXP SP2 CD like this.
The bottom line of the process is to remove the sctraches by rubbing.
