Unfortunately, i found the disc in the bottom of a tote and its taken some damage. I can open the disk and see the information on it but when i select all the content of the disk and drag it to my PC it locks up and stops responding. Any tips on how i can fix this issue and get these pictures? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Start with cleaning. If it doesn't work, wax. If that doesn't work, then do the sanding and rubbing compound. Buff with a microfiber cloth until it is clear. Might take like 10 min or so but you can see it as the rubbing compound works its magic.

Haven't found anything that works better. Can be purchased at almost any auto store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Excessive sunlight, heat, or just age. Lost some things from dvdrs even tho they were kept safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
