In my CD's collections, I have some Cd'd having too many scratches. So whenever I insert them in my CD-ROM, a message is given : "Bad CD........ Cannot be copied".

there is a software called "CD Check", which may help u to extract the contents from the portion where a cd couldnt be read by os. it reads or works directly on the cd storage logic, like sectors and tracks and tries to extract the information and decodes to system defined or os defined structure where u may get the contents..

If your computer won't recognize the CD as being readable, no software you get will help you to make a copy of it.
However, there is a product on the market, it works like a wax that you spread over the CD, which fills in the cracks. There's also some sort of product that sands the rest of the CD surface down so it doesn't appear to have scratches.

I can't help you with defective floppy disks...usually when they're unreadable, they're shot.
But, and I know this may sound strange, I've had a lot of success with this kind of problem on CD's and DVD's by using a brass polishing product called "Brasso". First clean off the surface of the CD with dish detergent and warm water, and thoroughly dry it. Once it's completely dry, take a soft cloth (an old clean tee shirt works fine), and apply the Brasso from the inside ring of the CD toward the rim...NOT in a circular manner. After you've rubbed the Brasso in, take another piece of soft cloth and polish the disk in the same direction, inside to the rim. When you're sure you've polished the disk to a dry shine, then try the disk again in your drive.
See the below link for the same basic information. Good luck.

Bad cd can be copied by Clone CD , Alcohol and many more but the integrity of the cd image is not garunteed but its worth a try if the cd is important.
Rember to use the read error skip option in both the sw's

BadCopy Pro is a good one.

But your operating system (Windows) must be able to access the drive letter of the CD-ROM.

You can try 'Unstoppable Copier' from http://www.roadkil.com
It is only 65KB in size.No installation required and is freeware.
CD Check and Bad copy pro are also good but i am not aware if they are freeware
