Hi Guys, I have been given a cdrom that is corrupt in some way, it was ok but either it has just gone bad or somebody as managed to write something to it using that horrible built in cd writer software in win XP. Its a CD-R not a RW if that makes a real difference. As usual it contains *important* (sigh) data and it is not backed up (bigger sigh). Linux can't even mount, reports this ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 64 isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdd, iso_blknum=16, block=16 Windows just shows one folder that contains itself! Any ways to get a raw read from the CD and attempt to parse the data file for anything meaningful. It has some jpegs on it that the person would like to recover if possible. Any nice linux tools for this kind of work? Can I dd the cdrom at all? tried and it didn't seem to do anything useful just kept reading and generated a large file with nothing in it.
