Scratched DVD, help wanted.

My NFS Carbon Game DVD, after 1 year of usage has got many scratches on it and not working properly in my XBOX 360. Can I repair it. Don't want tom buy a new one.

Googled a bit and found out that it can be repaired bu using toothpaste. Should i try this method.

I would rather suggest to have a Virtual Copy of the CD. This way neither you'll be needing purchase another cd nor you'll have to waste your toothpaste

^^i have tried this. But the problem is you can't access you XBOX360 DVD's on your PC. It shows a Blank DVD.

I would rather suggest you to look at below articles

Must look at software

That software isn't free and i think it requires modded 360.

utorrent is ....

Wait is that an Indian console and an original game copy? If so then doesn't Microsoft replace your DVD copy? I mean I had heard some DVD ROM issues with Xbox 360 doing rounds wherein it would scratch the DVD's internally & render it useless.I had one of my friends get a brand new copy of Gears Of War sent out to him in exchange for his busted copy.

Yes it is an Indian console and an original game copy but the replacement warranty, you are talking about is only for 3months from the purchase date and mine is used for more than a year.

Tried the toothpaste trick, it worked. Disk working nicely.

post that link from where u got this trick

This is the link. Try yourself.

Now would be the *right* time to backup that disk.

how to clean scratched cd with banana .
YouTube - How To Remove CD Scratches With A Banana

look at the video closely. ..before cleaning the cd had some scratches and then in the end most of the scratches..
dunno if u can believe the video ?
if its this really possible..maybe i need to try it with some old disc ..and a banana !

PS: Try it at your own risk and a fresh banana

EDIT : they say it even removes scratches off a ipod ..we should ask Mr. Steve to give a banana free with ipod
