How can I recover a drag drop dvd that is damaged? FREE
System taken down by trojans had to reinstall windows vista
Friday, May 9, 2008 by RobJK | Discussion: Windows Vista
Okay so I had to reinstall my os. Many many trojans took my pc over and where changing my files into trojan downloaders. I could only find 8 trojans. there where more that couldnt be found and where creating huge problems and controlling my pc... ect.
I backed up my skin that was so close to being done by the way on a dvd. By way of format(through vista) and drag and drop. I backed up many other files as well. Two dvds worth. I checked them both before i deleted my parameter and reinstalled vista. Many times. They worked. I got everything back up and runnning. One dvd worked....THE ONE WITHOUT MY 500 images that I spent so much time makeing!
The files are readable by isobuster and cd roller both 30-40 bucks cant afford them! anyone have any ideas. Freeware...... I think what Happened is I was too impatent and I double clicked the drive before the cd could be read and it started to format the disc. The drive shows that the dvd is full but when explored... NOTHING! HELP please.
So frustrating...

Use Komodo and Spybot, they're free and ultra-high power.
Are you sure the disk burned correctly?

RobJK ....it's a simple decision....on one hand you have 500 image files you cannot access....on the other you have $30 or so to get a proggy that will access them for you.
It's a no-brainer...depending on whether those images are worth $30.
Since you are so in a pickle about it all...I'd say the answer is yes....

I've used this program before, and it has worked pretty well. However I can't guarantee/promise it will work for you.
No harm in trying it though. The site says it works on Vista ....I have it on an XP machine.
...if it doesn't work, just uninstall it.
