imagoth2004 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I burnt a bunch of random folders and such on some blank discs last night. I didn't have a problem with some of the others, and there weren't any problems during the burn including the verifying. I probably should've checked the discs before I deleted the data because I can't get it back now. Is there anyway for me to view the files on the disc at all? The file system shown for the disc in the disc drive is RAW for some strange reason. DVD Drive: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552L 0614 (ATA)
Cynthia Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Can you post the log of that burn? You should be able to find it here. Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs Might be that the disc is burnt with a format that you PC can't read.
imagoth2004 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Okay here is the log. Not sure how useful it is... But even when burnt the same way 3 of the other discs work fine. imgburn.txt Edited December 20, 2009 by imagoth2004
jeff_nz Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 What is telling you that the file system is RAW? Explorer? What does ImgBurn report the file system to be when in 'Read' mode? (Create image file from disc) Have you tried reading the disc in ALL of the drives connected to your system or only the one?
mmalves Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Also update ImgBurn to the latest version while you're at it.
imagoth2004 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Yes Explorer is telling me the disc is RAW. I right click on the disc drive, and select properties. IMGBurn says there is no file system on the disc. I only have one disc drive to read it on. I have already updated right after posting the first post. Is there any sort of program that will let me view the files and copy them over?
Cynthia Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 What happens if you try to use the Read mode and read it back to the hard disk and then split the image with www.7-zip.org ?
kryten Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 You can also try IsoBuster: http://www.smart-projects.net/cdrecovery.php I've used this to retrieve files from unreadable discs.
imagoth2004 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 You can also try IsoBuster: http://www.smart-projects.net/cdrecovery.php I've used this to retrieve files from unreadable discs. Just tried ISOBuster, and it couldn't detect any tracable files or whatever it calls it. I'm using IB to make an ISO now.
imagoth2004 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 What happens if you try to use the Read mode and read it back to the hard disk and then split the image with www.7-zip.org ? Made the image file, but 7 zip won't open it, same with winrar.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 You burnt 'random' files/folders and yet exactly every single sector on the disc was used? Possible but unlikely. Looks to me as if you burnt a disc in discovery mode - which just burns zeroes to all sectors.
imagoth2004 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 You burnt 'random' files/folders and yet exactly every single sector on the disc was used? Possible but unlikely. Looks to me as if you burnt a disc in discovery mode - which just burns zeroes to all sectors. Well by random I mean I selected which folders and files to have burnt using the write files/folders to disc option. Besides I have no idea how to burn in discovery mode. Like I said before a few of the other discs seem to work fine and I burnt them in the same way and same timeframe.
mmalves Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 That disc has nothing useful written on it or else you would've been able to save what was on it with IsoBuster.
imagoth2004 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 That disc has nothing useful written on it or else you would've been able to save what was on it with IsoBuster. Now the main question. How did that happen so I know what NOT to do next time I use IB for burning more files?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Discovery mode looks similar to all the other modes. It has the same big 'Write' button that you have to click, and I'm guessing that's what you did - even if accidentally.
