This ones more for the suicidle amongst you and providing the scratches on the disk are not depply embedded. I would try it on an old game you don't play first just so you know im telling the truth
Ordinary toothpaste rubbed into the laquered surface in a rotary fashion (cleaning the disk in a circular fashion. NOT from the inner to outer track as is the common practice for cleaning disks) should allow the disk to become readable once again.
This will smooth out the laquer and allow the laser to access the chemical layer underneath (which contains the data)
Please note that this method should be used only as a last resort and only if (as mentioned) the scratches do not penetrate the chemical layer of the disk
