I've had success with a device that was sold as the "Data Doctor". Colors aside, it looks just like this "Skipdoctor": <http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Innovations-Skipdoctor-Repair-Kit/dp/B00005B9W6> It doesn't fill in, just allows you to easily perform uniform radial abrasion. > B) software utilities that can copy (as much data as possible from) > files that have CRC errors? A couple years ago I used either ddrescue or dd_rescue to read data off a hard disk without stopping at the first error. Also, you might want to see if there's something useful for DVDs surrounding libparanoia, which, last I checked, focused on reading red book audio from SCSI CDROM devices.
