The CD won’t perform the copying function in case of corruption and physical damage. If a disc is not severely damaged, the contents can be accessed by adopting following steps:

  • A dirty disc cannot be read correctly, thus try cleaning it with a soft cloth

  • Try the disc in some other computer as some CD drives are capable of forgiving minor disc errors

  • Save the data on the other computer and transfer it to yours via a USB or you can use Internet (If the data is not too bulky)

  • Check the drive cables on your machine
