Recovering a Damaged CD

[extreme P]

I'm using ISO Buster which I thought would do the trick. No luck yet. Any other good programs suggestions for the same purpose?

When you say damaged, do you mean physically, ie badly scratched, or data wise?

Data damaged. Shows up as a blank cd.

File Scavenger (Data recovery tool for Windows XP, Windows 2000/2003 and Windows NT) has worked for me in the past - you can download a demo version to try it out - it will tell you what, if anything, can be recovered before shelling out the $$$s.

Or try Recuva - it's free (Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File Recovery - Home)

What amanoffewwords says, if you google 'cd data recovery' you will find dozens of programs out there.

Similar here - the one I used was Diskinternals' CD-DVD-Recovery program. I think it had the same 'try it' free version which showed that there were files recoverable and then I paid for the full version. Turned out I didn't want the old files in the end but hey-ho, it did what it said on the tin.
