I'm not sure I understand what it is that you need to
do. The media itself is cheap enough to consider
disposable. Besides cleaning the drive, some people
have reported good results on saving a somewhat
scratched disk by polishing it with one compound or
another. (I wouldn't think that such a hot idea for
the drive, though.) But, if there was something vital
on that disk that you needed to access and retrieve,
this would be a different issue.
