Deep scratch? If it is, you'll probably never get it to rip. Try buffing it out if you can. There are CD/DVD scratch removal products out there.

or use a smooth toothpaste. Don't waste your money on those commercial products. If you hold the disc up to light and can see the light through the scratch, sorry the disc is junk... but if you can't see light, toothpaste should do the trick. Remember to always buf from the centre edge out the the outer edge, not in a circular motion.

I work for a CD/DVD repair company. We dont actually repair the cds but sell a solution that works great. I cant list it here due to advertising but I have a good solution.
Hold the disc up to a lite, if you see through it, the disc is ruined. Get some NuFinish car polish and a soft cotton cloth. Put 4 drops on the disc and wipe from center outward, never in circles. Let site for 3 minutes. When dry, wipe off with clean cotton cloth, same way as applied, no circles. This will fill in the scratch and remove skipping about 8/10 times success rate.
PM me for the actual product I work for if you need better help, my product is a high quality polish.

@c1c what new information did you offer other than the fact you are trying to make a sale?

My new information is what I posted. Use Nu Finish for an alternative to my product. Toothpaste is NOT a good suggestion unless u decide to brush your teeth with your scratched media. I have personally done multiple tests in this area and consider myself an expert. My intentions are not to make a 5 dollar profit on a sale. My intentions are for multiple people all over the world to benefit from this common problem as opposed to going out and buying commercial products, like machines, that will cause more harm than good!
See for yourself and stop being a cyber punk!

Always place the disc you are treating on a clean, flat, non-abrasive surface and always use a clean area of CD Softies Washable Wipes or a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free soft cloth to apply "Polish". Wash hands after each use.
To Clean: Shake well! Evenly apply 3-4 drops to unprinted side only. Gently wipe from center of disc outward until clean and dry. Repeat cleaning for stubborn grime. (This action alone will repair some skipping.)
To Determine if a Disc can be Repaired: First, examine the disc up against a bright light. Carefully check to see if any light is visible through the disc. Even the tiniest pinhole of light means that part of the reflective surface is missing, so part of the information encoded on the disc is gone and can never be repaired. This type of damage may occur when the label side is scratched or otherwise damaged, or when a disc has been left on "pause" for too long (i.e. "laser burn"), common with car CD players and auto-changers. If no light is visible, repair the disc as indicated below.
To Repair Skipping: First, clean the disc as above. Then evenly spread 4-5 drops from center to edge on unprinted side only. Let dry 1 minute, then buff from center to edge until clean and dry. Check for skipping. If skipping persists, repeat as necessary. You should find that each coat brings back more and more of the disc. If the disc still does not improve, apply "polish" directly to the scratches and rub until solution disappears.
If skipping still persists, your CD may have severe damage which may require dozens of coats to completely fill the scratch. Some types of damage are more difficult to repair than others. Radial scratches, for example, cause the laser to follow a scratch in a circular path and even the most advanced error correction circuitry can?t compensate quickly enough. These types of scratches range from difficult to impossible to repair, sometimes associated with radial CD cleaners and shock to mobile or portable players when in use. If the disc doesn?t have radial scratches and still shows no improvement, your disc may have a manufacturer?s defect. Nothing can fix any type of manufacturer?s defect. Some discs with manufacturing defects may play properly when purchased, and develop problems over time. Severe scratches and defects may be irreparable damage. This is not an exact science. Results may vary. Not all discs can be saved, but "Polish" is clinically proven to repair a high percentage of skipping CDs.
