Recovering data from an incomplete burned CD-ROM

[liquidblue69mce]

I have a CD with data that is somehow corrupted. The CD was in the process of burning data to it and I canceled the session and it ejected. Now here is the situation, I have files on that CD that I can see in my burning program (Roxio) and I can also see them in Win explorer, but I can't copy from or use them for burning data source files. I have tried several trouble shooting techs. and no go. Is there a software utility that can fix the corrupted data tables/file allocations and complete (or somewhat complete) the burning of the CD. oh I don't have the data that I used for the source files, thoes puppies are long gone..:(

If this is the wrong forum this topic, move as needed...

as far as I know, when you cancel a burn process after it has started, all data on it is gone, unreadable, unrecoverable,and trashed the cd,

you could try a program called CD-R diagnostic by CD-ROM Productions. It might be able to get some data of the cd.

I think there is some hope becuase I was able to navigate to the data files in windows... there is hope. I will give that CD-R diagnostic from CD-ROM Productions.

If Roxio still has a Scandisk utility, you can try that. There's also Badcopy Pro.

You might also try "closing" the disk with roxio. When you canceled the burn the disk did not have the chance to close the disk and write the table of contents.
