Hi all
I have a 800 mb CDRW disc that has become corrupted in the following manner.
The disc has been used to store lots of Digital Camera photos and whilst writing some more files to it the computer crashed (maybe as a result of the disc becomming full). My CDRW drive will no longer read the disc. It is possible to read disc in CDROM drive but that reports it as a audio CD and Windows Explorer shows one 79 min audio track on the CD !!
None of my CD recording software will read disc and what I need to know is if there is any way to recover files from the disc.

Thanks

Tim

The crash probably corrupted the FAT (file allocation table) on the CD.

I hate Norton Utilities, but it might help in these situations.

yeah thats a bugger,its happened to me on a number of occasions. i managed to recover the files by reading them from on another machine where strangely the file associations where ok. I just copied them onto the harddisk & reformated the cdwr.
Theres summat in that association thats the prob but im not too sure what

pacenote

Thanks for the ideas guys - still no good though

yeah never fill the disc if its a rw, its prone to dataerrors
