i HAVE NEVER DONE THIS ON THE WRITABLE SIDE OF THE DISC, BUT IT MIGHT WORK, ANYWAY AND NOT DO FURTHER DAMAGE. I HAVE REMOVED SHARPIE INK OFF OF THE BACK SIDE OF A DSIC WITH A Q-TIP AND 90% RUBBING ALOCHOL OR THE TYPE INTENDED FOR ELECTRONICS. YOU MIGHT TRY THIS.

Some computer shops will give it a try on a no fix no fee basis.
