Well before I had a chance to make a backup of it, our son scratched his favorite DVD. Our fault, not his. Actually lots of small ones, not one big one. Anyway, I tried to make a copy of it (MacTheRipper) but it reported bad blocks. I tried to clean it off as much as I could, but still no good. Are there any for-sale products (sprays, equipment, etc) or home- remedies that might work? TjL
