- For those of you that own CD-Rs and can't pay for
- real software that has this ability. This program
- will send a CD-R recovery command to your SCSI CD-R
- drive to recover damaged tracks on your media. This
- procedure has a surprisingly high success rate,
- meaning you can use the CD to back up some more data,
- possibly even salvaging some already written data!
- It can also close tracks that have been mistakenly
- left open, and therefore seem to be bad tracks, when
- actually, all the data is there.
-
- note: ASPI interface required, either with DOS
- drivers or Windows 95 drivers. Only tested with
- Windows 95 & Adaptec DOS drivers.
-
- NOTE2: So far, I've had little success with this in
- Windows NT. Sorry. If people want it to run in
- NT, I may code a win32 version.
-
-
-
- operation:
- ---------
-
-
- Just run it, and follow the directions. Please note that you need to know
- what ID your CD-R drive is at, and what track is the damaged one. If you
- enter a track that isn't damaged, this won't work, unless the problem is
- a finished track that hasn't been closed -- in which case it is closed for
- you. Simple enough?
