Now this may be of worth price of the year....a free program which claims to access data on a scratched or damaged CD...
I just received the tool and thought some may be interested as well. Click here (http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/) to get it for free.
Copy from the website:
IsoBuster lets you explore a CD's File System while by-passing Windows.
This way you get :
- Better Error handling and several retry-mechanisms to aid you in getting the data anyway.
- More CDs stay 'readable' after problems (such as Buffer Underrun).
- Read and extraction of files, tracks and sessions from CD-i, VCD, SVCD, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, DVD, DVCD, ...
- Mpg (*.dat) Extraction and dat2mpg 'in one'.
- ISO9660, Joliet, Romeo (Short File-names <-> Long File-names on mastered CDs)
- Big Endian (Motorola), Little Endian (Intel) (The File System Windows sees vs. what Unix, Mac and other systems see)
- UDF 2.01 but also : UDF 1.02 (e.g DVDs), UDF 1.5 (e.g. Packet writing on CD-R and CD-RW)
- Rock Ridge Support (e.g. for Commodore users)
- Single sector extraction
- File system properties (must for FS developers)
- Neat features the OS doesn't offer
- CD-Text support
- ...
On top of this, Isobuster interprets CD image files, such as :
- *.DAO (Duplicator), *.TAO (Duplicator), *.ISO (Nero, BlindRead, Creator), *.BIN (CDRWin), *.IMG (CloneCD), *.CIF (Creator), *.FCD (Uncompressed), *.NRG (Nero), *.GCD (Prassi), *.P01 (Toast), *.C2D (WinOnCD), *.CUE (CDRWin), *.CIF (DiscJuggler), *.CD (CD-i OptImage), *.GI (Prassi PrimoDVD).
IsoBuster now features Language support for 32 languages :
- English, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, German, Icelandic, Greek, Serbian, Finnish, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Russian, Azerbaijan Turkish, Hebrew, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Slovakian, Afrikaans, Norwegian, Ukrainian, Catalan, Slovenian & Japanese. More Languages will follow.
IsoBuster is easy to use and thoroughly tested.
This application will work under Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP & Windows NT 4.0.
