Trying it on another computer is you best hope. That didn't work for you so no a lot choices.

You could try Imgburn to copy the whole CD to HD as an ISO file. It may or may not work as imgburn is fairly quick to point out a cyclic redundancy but it is surely worth a try. If it can copy it to the single file then you can write that back to a new CD.

Read the screens during install so you can opt out of any toolbars or other ad-supporting software. Imgburn is a good program but it does bundle something with the installer that you want to opt out of when installing.

Then try the "Create Image File from Disc" option to see if it can read the disc without error.
