Please, don't use all caps. It's considered screaming.

I don't know of any software, but if you have scratched discs, you may want to check out this thread.

if you do clean using the method shown in bigandy's link, make sure you rub in a radial direction, not circumferencial movement, because any scratches, small or otherwise that you do put in will make little difference if going from in-to out rather than around due to the track nature of discs.
If it went around circumferencial, you could well ruin it entirely...

My Medal of Honor CD was scratched to the point that it would take several attempts to install the game correctly. I used Alcohol 120% to make a working copy and all is well now.

Have you tried simply placing the disk in a good cd burner? I had several disks that would not read on a regular CD rom but copies of them made on my MSI burner work perfectly. Place the damaged disk in the burner and let your burn program build an image file from the disk. Remove the disk and insert a blank CDR or RW and burn the file.

Something to do with the higher sampling rate (I think).
