Hi,
ok ihave a cd at home screwed up when burning. Basically it's TOC is unwritten and the session is not closed.
my problem is that it appears tobea blank media,i cant close the session on it and i cant do any kind of read on it ( i'm running Win2K,it reports "invalid function" when i try read it )
So Does anyone know of any software to do a low level recovery from the cd?
i know the easy solution is to burn it again,but i want to know how to recover the data if this happens again.
regards

If you have Adaptec (Roixo or whatever they call it now) some versions have a scandisk option - though I've never seen it work....
