The scans are great, cheers m8.

As for the disk...That's a real pity, if it's truly corrupt then there's not much you can do..

The best thing to try to start off with is known as the spin and blow trick which has saved disks for me on a few occaisons.

Just push back the metal shutter and gently blow on the surface of the disk, use your thumb on the metal central bit to rotate the disk as you carry on blowing, remember to do both sides.

This can get rid of any loose dust/dirt that may be causing the read error, after you've done that, try dumping the disk again and hopefully this time it will work.

Good Luck!


well so far i havent had too much luck, i tried blowing out the dust etc... and it got past the 66 read error but has now stopped at 70 and cant get it any better at the moment, but ill give it another try.

Hi again!

Sorry, I never properly thanked you for trying, so THANK YOU!

It's just a pity the disk is damaged Crying or Very sad

I did make good use of your scans though!

Sorry it took so long replying, I get very busy and end up forgetting about some places entirely Sad

Hi there.

Galaxy found a compact with KIN on.

Personally I hate compacts but it's better than nothing.
It's currently in the zone on eab.

Oh and could you please possibly do a scan of the disk for HOL as well?
