No, you can retrieve most of the content with a data retrieval program such as CD Data Rescue ($20) or similar - there's probably a free program out there somewhere if you can find it.

You could also try skimming the disk to remove scratches - some shops will skim a CD for free, or you can buy a disk skimmer quite cheaply (about $40 for an automatic powered one).

Can you deliver a link download of software or program that you mentioned?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
