As J�rg said in his out-of-thread mail that readcd is better than dd, just for fun I gave readcd a go with the "broken" CD. It sees 169825 blocks (where isoinfo saw 160525) and could read 160512 of them before giving an IO error. Interesting. Lourens -- GPG public key: http://home.student.utwente.nl/l.e.veen/lourens.key
