Try using rubbing alcohol... it will clean "sharpie" markers with ease and won't eat into the delicate backing layer on the drive. (Which is basically just a coat of varnish)

Doh I was specifically referring to "Isopropyl Alcohol", the stuff you get at the drug store to disinfect wounds etc.
Isopropyl alcohol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isopropyl alcohol should not damage the CD back, it does not dissolve plastic or lacquer or whatever exactly they spray on the back of DVDs.

It would be best to try it first on a DVD/CD that you can afford to lose.

Remember, on a CD the bumps and pits are under the label. DO NOT damage the label. On a DVD the pits and bumps are sandwiched between two plastic disc in the middle. Blu-ray...they are right on the read surface.
