Trying to exhaust all other options before installing something.
That, and the disk doesn't seem to even want to be recognised.
It does seem to be a physical problem, happening at the reader itself,
before any software can get a grip on it, though ddrescue might indeed do
the trick.

Well, it seems that BlueRay would be more reliable. Something to do with a
thicker, or more sturdy, layer. And also an extra layer on the label side.
I'm holding it off until prices drop dramatically, and actual experiences
