Clean CD or DVD
1. Examine the silver side (mirror like) of the CD or DVD in a well-lighted area. View the CD or DVD at an angle to locate any scratches, filth or damage on the surface.
2. Clean the CD or DVD with a CD-ROM cleaning kit, according to Microsoft support. Microsoft also recommends using a soft, lint-free cloth and wiping the CD or DVD from the center of the disk outward.

3. Insert your CD or DVD into a secondary CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. If you encounter 'Error 1305' again, Microsoft support recommends cleaning the disk by using a cloth dampened with warm water. Dry the CD or DVD thoroughly before testing it again in your secondary CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
4. Replace the CD or DVD if it does not work with the secondary CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. You can also contact a professional to have your damaged CD or DVD restored.
5. If the CD or DVD works in your secondary CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, check your primary CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive to see whether any critical files are missing or require updates. If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is updated with all the proper software, restart your computer with a 'Clean Boot.'
