Recovery of Data on CDRW

[Orangeman]

Hey Gang,

This is my problem. I had some information stored on a Rewritable CD. I was going to add some more information but Nero told me that I had too much information on it already. But instead of leaving the program and putting in a new CD I (or it) evidently tried to erase it. When I realized what I was doing, the erase process was in full swing. So I stopped it by restarting my computer.

Now the CDRW won't recognize the CD at all, but it does other CD I put in. Question:

Is there anyway I can recovery my lost data?

I have Win98SE, Also, PC Inspector File Recovery (free version) Clony XXV, Nero 5.5, Sony CRX-195E1 (40x12x48); Disk is Phillips High-Speed CDRW.

Thanks,
Orangeman

Here is a shareware data recovery program that works on cd's.
IsoBuster 1.4

I have to ask ... is it really you orangeman who does all this 'stuff' or are you just covering up !? :eek2:

Stella Phoenix CD rom (http://www.stellarinfo.com/cd-data-recovery.htm)

Cd/Dvd diagnostic (http://www.cdrom-prod.com/cddvddiagnostic.html)

(Both of these used to be freeware :rolleyes: ... now they ain't :(, however the demo's will tell you if they'll work to get back what you want, try - & work from there ;) )

As a matter of fact it isn't me who does all this 'stuff' to my computer. Ever since Halloween some crazed computer goblin with a personal grudge against the loveable Yours Truly comes in each night and does all this bad stuff to make me look stupid in front of you....:D

BTW, I found a program called BadCopy Pro. It recovered most of the data I needed. Its easy to use too.

Thanks,

I think its 30 days free, then you have to buy it. Here it is:

BTW, its also better for external disks like floppies, CD's, and Zips than it is for HD's. But I have PC Inspector for that....:D

OMG, I think I hear that computer goblin knocking around again.... :devil:
