EA will sometimes replace broken discs, for a charge. Try e-mailing
their customer support address, or sending off a query from here:
http://eatech.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/eatech.cfg/php/enduser/cci/home.php

Failing that, you might be able to find a cheap U9 on eBay. HTH.

Adding to Samurai's answer, it might be possible to recover the files by
gluing the disc together. Do that (with a super-glue or so) and try to
extract an image with CDR-Win or so.
I'd give it a 40% chance of being successful.

Be sure to let the glue dry out properly first, though. Smile))))

(On the other hand - with U9 it doesn't make the heck of a lot of
difference anyway, so glue away...)

With today's 50x drives, maybe, but if there's some way the OP can get the
drive to spin slower, or if he has access to an older 1x or 2x drive, then
it might be worth a try.

Tristan

uh, yeah, a spin-down utility might be wise Smile

As a CD-Rom is not read in a circular mode like a record is played it might
really have a chance to succeed.
