How can I retrieve info off a corrupt cdrw?

tonygunns · Sep 15, 2002

Hi all,

I was in the middle of adding some things to a cdrw using fileCD (new version). I believe I ran out of room on the disc as it was copying to it and I received an error. This was my own dumb fault trying to fit every last mb.

Now when I try to access this disc it cannot find or tells me it is corrupt. I have well over 500mb of info that I need. Is there anyway of getting this info off the disc?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks pokopiko for your reply. Unfortunately it is ISO9660 so I'm guessing I have to reformat this disc and start all over

Thanks again for your reply

Why not just burn data as DATA instead of Packet Writing?

Have you tried Bad Copy Pro - it can retrieve corrupt files from unreadable media... works a treat! Here's a thread where you can download it from....

Thanks for all your advise. I agree I should just burn it all to cdr. I guess the thing is that the info is accumalated over a period of maybe 6 months and I would hate to clog up my hard drive until I have enough info to fill the disk.

vcd_pat -> I'll try the program you suggest. If I can retreive it I'll gladly burn it as a data cd

Thanks
