1. Download a program to recover the CD's information. I use ddrescue, and this is a link to download a software GUI:
https://launchpad.net/ddrescue-gui. Then, use the GUI to recover the cd's information. It may last about 4 hours, 3 of them "scratching" the damaged CD spaces (last step).
2. After ddrescue makes its job, it stores all the cd content in an .img file, but we need a to store the contents into an .iso file to burn them into a new CD by using Brasero. To do that, we type in the terminal:
dd if=img_file.img of=~/Documents/custom/path/isoFile.iso
3. Burn the iso into a new CD using Brasero.
