<link removed>

CD cover is missing a big sections so there is no reflection when reading.

That is my current situation.. what are my options?

I do not have access to the original data. Can I peel off the cover and place a new one over it?

Umm in the off chance this isn't a joke you are 100% SOL.

that page is rather slow (and the images kinda large). how 'bout some shrinkage and hosting on imageshack? (might get more replies)

edit...just saw the pics...there is no hope for that cd due to the huge missing gap that is not the center circle.

Your'e screwed. I doubt you get anything because there doesn't look to be even one single track that does not have a huge gap in it or crack.

That 'cover' isn't a cover - it's the data layer of the disc!

There is essentially no way to recover meaningful amounts of data from that disc.

Well, that solves it. Thanks. Sorry for the slow pics. Hosting it from home pc.

What happened to the disc?

The data layer is actually closest to the top of the CD, when you can see through the CD like that the data layer is completely gone.

I have no clue, it's not my cd. I bet that the owner may have accidentally scrapped it or something of the sort.
