It was burnt with EasyCD 5 under Windows ME - is there any way to rescue this file or repair it or the CD somehow, or am I up the creek and so on?

"cyclic data error "

would try making an image of the cd using somehing like CDRWIN and setting the read speed down to like 2x then open up the image with isobuster or somehting
