You should have at least copied it to another CD as backup. When a CD is not already readable by CD-ROM, especially old CD's, then there are no alternatives for you to get the images back. You can try inserting the CD to another ROM that can read it. But don’t lose hope, there is a third party software that you can use to recover bad or trashed DVD or CD and even a Blue Ray disk. You can use the ISO Buster for your scratched CD.

You can also use the CD-Roller for recovery, but there is no assurance that your files will be recovered successfully. There are possibilities that part of the disk is not readable anymore. But this is the only the last resort for you to use.

Good Luck!

You can get your images back using Photo Recovery Software, but the main thing is not to write to the disk or memory card anymore, until you give the recovery software a chance. If you use Windows, you can download Flash recovery, and if you use Mac, you can download Photo Recovery for Mac.

Hope these help you.

Hello dear,

There is not any software that will copy the snaps from your scratched CD disks, but there is a solution that will save your pictures and all other important data. You should use a buffer machine to remove scratches from your CD disks. This picture shows a buffing machine.

 

 

It has a soft fiber on its edges that clean the CD softly, and removes all of the scratches. 

 

Thanks.
