If you have a day for YOUR computer to analyze the bad CD and recover it,
this might help:

I have successfully recovered data from corrupted CDs and DVDs with this
program, and I think it has a free trial... though the process can take a
long time.

So, recover the CD to a folder on your desktop, then burn the data on to a
CD and try it out!

And he didn't have to re-install just to change the user name in any
case :-)

Is the CD scratched on the label side or the playing side? If the
label, you're in trouble. If the other, try polishing out the scratch
with a mild cutting paste. Start with metal polish, or the fluid
sold for "cutting back" car paintwork. Finish off with toothpaste.
