My mac laptop says the scratch disc is full even though I have cleaned almost everything off it ...what can I do?

clean it, get a disc scratch remover kit,

Hi, Back up your internal HD to an externa; drive using something like CarbonCopy Cloner or SuperDuper or even make a disc image of it onto the external drive.Insert your installation disc and restart the computer while holding down the C key. After a while you shoulod get the usual start=up signs and you can let go of the C.The Mac should thenm be starting from the CD/DVD and you will get a welcome to mac OS screen asking you what language yu want to work in. Choose whichever and then follow the instructions that appear on screen. Remember though, when you format, everything will be wiped from the HD.

Circular scratches are the most harmful to the disc's ability to play. You can try gently rinsing the disc under cool water and then drying thoroughly, bufffing with a soft clean towel. Depending on how big the scratch is, the disc may not be useable even after this, though. If it does work, be sure to always keep it in its case when not in use. Leaving CDs out is the surest way for this problem to recur.

Ok, but what is the question you are asing

Well that Dell maybe 10 years old and time for a new one.


I use both Macs and PCs. There nothing wrong with using PC. With Macs you pay out the nose for power. Its bad enough to buy the average Mac with little power

Inspect and clean your disc Take a close look at the bottom side of your game, movie, or music disc (the side without a label or image). Are there scratches? Excessive scratches or smudges can prevent your console from reading the disc. Clean your disc Hold the disc by the edges without touching the top or bottom surfaces. Using a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth, lightly wipe from the center of the disc outward.

· Note Use ONLY water to clean the disc.

· Once the disc is clean, load the disc into your console and see if the disc plays.

If your Wii won't read any discs, even though the discs are clean, I have 2 solutions.

Visit support.nintendo.com

Or call 1-800-255-3700 for Wii assistance.

this is probably a projector setting
try checking the setting of both systems

Hi rico617,

There could be a couple of causes, and there could be a couple of solutions. The solutions may not be too fun though.

First possible problem:

1. Your discs could be scratched. If that's the case, clean them off as best you can with a soft cloth and all that. If that's not the case......

2. It could be that your disc drive is messed up.

If 1. didn't solve your problem, than here are some possible solutions regarding 2.

1. Your lens could be dirty, in which case you can try a lens cleaner (probably not the problem)

2. For many with this problem, formatting their hard drive (yes their hard drive, not disc tray) solves the problem. Unfortunately that's a major bummer because you'll lose everything on the drive.

3. If you're brave enough to go through the second one and it still doesn't solve it, you're going to have to send it in for repairs cause it looks like the disc tray is having incompatibility issues with your games (yeah I know it's dumb)

Best of luck man :)

THE ONLY THING I CAN SUGGEST IS THERE ARE BLEMISHS OR SCRATCHES ON YOUR DISK. FIRST CLEAN GENTLY WITH TISSUE AND WINDEX. THEN GO TO A GOOD CD OR DVD BURNER AND COPY THE DISK AT HALF SPEED PREFERRABLY. IF THERE IS NO DATA DAMAGE YOU WILL ACTUALLY REMOVE THE LIGHT SCRATCHES. IF YOU HAVE IRREPAIRABLY ERRORS YOUR DISK IS DAMAGED. FIND A XPOEM DISK AND RELOAD USING THE LEGAL KEY ON THE BACK OF YOUR LAPTOP.
