Topic # 14419 2-Jul-2007 19:39

Can some one please help me out on this one i burnt a dvd data disc before i reinstalled my windows and now it dose not want to read it just keeps saying its a Cd-drive. The data on the disc is really really important and i need it. I burnt it with DVD Decrypter as a ISO and i verified it aswell. I tryed putting it in the drive and open DVD Decrypter and save it as a ISO and when i go to open it but it says it is corrupted. I get no errors when saving it as a ISO only when opening it i get a error.. my dvd drive is a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B TS04. When i place it in the xbox it reads my music witch is in a folder called music. It plays the music fine but when i go and place it into my drive nothing. Also when i go into the FTP on the Xbox it says there is nothing in the drive. If you want to know what DVD Decrypter says before i go and try and save it as a iso look below:

Did you try reading the disc before erasing the information to make sure it was readable?

Anyway, try Roxio's UDF Reader or CDRoller.

Umm no i didint i thought the verifying would have done that. I have CDRoller but i don't know how to use it right >___< testing that other one now =)

Edit: Tested that other thing you sent me and it did not work
Edit2: Okk looked more online and found it burnt as a ISO9660 or Joliet.

P.S. Sorry for posting in the wrong place and thanks for moving it

well the better news is that u may have exited out of it before it was completely finished!?
possibility number 2 u may have had another program running at the time of burn that interfered or tied up the processor that the burner required for the burn!?
possibility number 3 u could have had the wrong required disc in the drive
possibility number 4 SOME DISK JUST SUCK!!!!(OR DEFAULTS IN THE DISK IF U WANT TO GET TECHNAKEL)
possibility number 5 agh the disk was scratch lol dcam(don't care any more) lol this make my brain hurt like cave man well that's the possibility's enjoy.

oh dear, i've had this problem before. unfortunately for me my life was deleted. clean start from then. but i was a student then.

anyway if mauricio's programs dont work have to tried reading it in every dvd drive you can get your hands on? work? friends? laptop? if more than 3 give the same problem then try contacting a professional data recoverer.

also see if majorgeek.com has any programs for you?
