| I've some cd's (cdrw's to be more precise) that have holes in the surface (i.e, it can be seen through the plastic, not actually that you could pass a needle through it). Someone told me that painting the holes would make that sectors readable again. In fact, it worked, but i don't know if this works for cdr's too (I don't wanna waste a cd just for testing, because i'm running out of them) | |||

| How in the world would that make the data readable again? If part of the top layer is scratched completely off (you need to be far more careful with your CDs, by the way), that data is gone forever. Painting over the hole probably tricks the drive into reading a string of 0's or 1's. Are you certain the files you're reading from the CD aren't corrupted in some way? | |||

| You could try to open the CD with IsoBuster. Depending on the "error patching" ability of your CD/DVD drive and the that software, you might be able to have at least a chance to save the most important data. When it comes to data CDs, it will be no use, since interpolaton like when playing audio-CDs doesn't work (code is missing can and will cause trouble, of course). On the other hand I made pretty good experiences with IsoBuster - since most data CDs still has two layers, you might give it a shot. (edited by Surlent on 08-12-05 06:27 AM) |
