If they're snapped, you may be SOL.  If they're just scratched, I've
seen "restorative"
compound used to make a disc re-readable.  It seems to work somewhat
like a cross
between a Zamboni and car wax: apply the cream, spread it around, let
it dry, polish it
off.  It usually leaves the surface of the disc a bit milky, but that
doesn't seem to affect
the readability (or at least it tends to be much more readable after
than before).
