Answer 1

You can try a disc restoring kit. Most movie rental places, video game stores, some electronics stores, etc. will have them. If the scratches are small chances are good you'll be able to restore it. The reason is that the plastic side of the CD doesn't actually store any data - it's all stored on that shiny metallic section underneath the clear plastic. So as long as you didn't damage the label side of the disc you should be able to repair the disc.

Answer 2

All you can realy do is put some furniture polish on it and wipe it with a soft cloth from the inside out, repeat a few times till it works if their deep scratchs you can buy tools and polish to help.

or last resort a disk repair service some listed below

Answer 3

no unfortunately you can't. it is saying data error because it can't get all of the information off of the disc. sorry i can't be of more help, but it's the best i have.
