Cyclic Redundancy Check

27-08-2005, 14:41

Just discovered a multisession data CD that dates back from 08-07-01. It would most definitely have been created by Nero and the disk appears to be in mint condition. When i try to access any files on it, the titles show up fine but i try to drag any files to my desktop it takes 5 - 10 minutes to display the above error

I've tried my 52x liteon dvd rom drive, my optowrite cd-rw and my nec dvd-rw all with the same results. I'm thinking that the time i started this multisession disc drive technology wasn't as fast. Could this be my problem?

Is it a cd you created yourself?

I have some older cd's that I've done myself and they're degrading, and show this error.

If you've tried so many drives and are having no luck then I'd say you're pretty stuffed

Dilli.

I created it with a 8x max cd writer that died long ago but the cd i created was burnt and left in a box that has not been opened til today. There are a few chat logs and a poo load of mp3's that i wouldn't mind seeing again.

The disk is a verbatim 1 - 16x blue cd-r if that helps?

All I can suggest is you try to copy one file at a time and get off what you can.

If this is what you're already doing it's not good - not good at all.

Maybe someone else has a suggestion? (pokes passing people to suggest something)

try taking an image instead of the disc instead with clonecd or the like ,then if you manage reburn
