Heres an alternative addition to what the guys suggested. My suggest is a Windows Base program that is know to work in some of the worst case of "scratched CD's/DVD's or defective Disc.

Unstoppable Copier 4.2:

This program is great for recovering files from scratched CD's or defective floppy/hard disks. Normally when your computer is unable to copy a file from a damaged disk it will abort and delete the portition of the file it has copied. This program however will continue to copy the file right to the end. Any data that is not recoverable after many retries is replaced with blanks. This will allow you to truely recover every byte of information that is available for recovery. The program allows you to specify a single file, a group using wildcards (* and ?) or if you wish, select a starting folder and the program will copy all data from it and any sub folders it may contain. This program doesnt just need to be used for copying files form defective disks, it can be used to transfer any files!

Here's a possible solution for you - If your read errors are due to scratches or blemishes, try polishing the disc with toothpaste (paste not gel) or Braso (metal polish) etc.. Clean from the central rim outwards toward the edge. Has worked wonders for me in the past.

Cheers.
