Thanks though, I will give it a try

Replacing the CD Drive (mechanic) is a very easy task, there are three things you can do;
1. Replace the internal CD drive.
2. Add an external CD drive if you have a free USB port
3. Use a program like Virtual CloneDrive to make an image of the CD on a working computer. Send that image to the computer with the broken CD along with the program and use that to mount the image, to start the game.

I have done all three, I would suggest replacing the internal CD Drive, cost effective as a CD player is cheap. Takes a little time but if you can use a screw driver you should have no problems. Using and external CD drive that uses the usb port is very very easy but costs a bit more. The last will also work but takes the most time to create the image files and install the things.
