Uhh boiling dvd-rs & cd-rs is a bad idea. The paper-like layer that info is written on is on the outside of the disc. If you boil it, then that layer is going to come loose & either fall off or become un-readable. Your best bet is to try & read the disc in a pc & make another copy of the disc. If the top part of the disc is scratched to hell you're probably s.o.l.
