Is there a solution to scratched disks? I am asking because some of my disks are a bit scratched up including my FS9 Disk 4 so i am a bit worried.

I bought a unit called Memorex OptiFix pro at Staples to clean and repair discs with. I have used it a few times and it works great but keep in mind if the scratch is to deep nothing will fix it.

Thats why it comes with a box. I could do with one of those disk cleaners for my PS2 disks.  :-[

How about the activation code if i need to buy a new FS9? Do I need to uninstall to get the new disk working?

A while in the freezer or toothpaste is said to make scratched disks readable again.


Google for more info.

Hair gel.... http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/repair-a-scratched-cd-with-hair-gel.html

Apparently hair gel fills in the scratch and restores the refractive properties so that the laser pickup doesn't bounce off all over the place. Not a permanent fix, but it's enough to let you copy the cd and it's a lot less work than polishing as well.

We don't copy discs on this site Luke... ESPECIALLY FS discs...

a1... check your PM... I sent you the fix for disc 4

I don't think I'll use that method richardd43 . I avoid stuff that could get me in trouble.

No problem... Was just a suggestion.

I reinstalled fs9 yesterday and NO mine atleast, did NOT require an activation key or cd key to use. If it were me I would just burn the folder out of your harddrive then errr. "swap the .exe another",

Not much good if your bold
