If you have a damaged CD or DVD which you need to recover data on and trying to copy data from Windows Explorer is not yielding successful results, a tool you might want to try is IsoPuzzle.
Short Description:
The goal of this program is to recover as much as possible data of damaged, bad burned or scratched CDs or DVDs.
This version supports only data CDs and DVDs with sectorsize of 2048 byte – Audio CD, VCD and SVCD are not supported.
IsoPuzzle reads the disc in the drive and creates an ISO file with any data it can recover. This resulting ISO file can either be loaded into a virtual drive or burned to a disc to copy any recovered data.
The product’s website does look dated to say the least, but the tool may be worth a try in a disaster recovery situation. Do take note of the author’s disclaimer that this program makes no guarantee that it can recover any data from a damaged disk.
