Try creating a disk image of it first with dd: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cdrom.img bs=512 conv=noerror,sync
Then see if enough of the filesystem structure survived to even mount it. And even then you may still have some corrupted data. If that doesn't work try the library thing Adam mentioned. Also, Gametraders in the mall offers a service to repair damaged game discs. I assume they could also repair a data disc. ray On Thu, 21 Oct 2004, David Jackson wrote: > Can anyone suggest a piece of software for recovery of badly scratched > CD's? (Data CD's).
