Mr_Smartepants Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Jatti, Can't you just download the RTM again and reburn to a DVD-r (not r/w)? Didn't you keep a copy of the .iso?Your other option is to clean the scratched disc. As long as the scratches don't reach the dye layer, the plastic outer layer can be polished. I've fixed several scratched discs using normal toothpaste as an abrasive (don't laugh! It works.)Yea I can relate, I had two DVD RW's and they finally gave out...where I live I cant for the life of me find another dvd rw for sale to save my lifeRick, do you need the drive itself or DVD/RW discs? PM me. Edited September 20, 2009 by Mr_Smartepants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
