CDR recovery?

[Ultanium]

I have appx 500mb worth of soundfonts in a folder on a cdr I recorded about 2 years ago, and when I try an access it win says the folder is corrupt. Are there any tools (win or linux) that will recover anything out of this folder or am I screwed?

Are you certain the files are corrupt? Did you verify the CD after you wrote it two years ago?

If you are using Win 2000, update to SP2 and do not attempt to 'fix' the CD. This assumes you are using the UDFS file system on a CD-RW media. If you are using some other OS, maybe the files are corrupt.

If you have a CD-R (not CD-RW) that you can't read, then you probably have corrupt files. Try using 'imaging' software to image the CD to a drive, then fix the image on the drive. That's my best guess.

Yeah, everything was there 6 months ago and this is a cdr. I am running w2k+sp2 on this box, have tried to clone the cd, but never wrote the iso to the drive and tried to salvage anything. Maybe isobuster???

Try CD Check. It searches a cd for bad sectors. If the cd comes out fine, then the files are good. But I would still make an ISO of it and use isobuster to extract the files.
