Hello,
I really hope you can help me please.
I am in a very awkward position. Today, my sister asked me to replace her WinXP OS, and I did so. Before formatting and reinstalling her OS, I burned her documents onto a CDR with the XP burning utility. Stupidly, I did not check the CD was created okay, and proceeded to format.
When I inserted the CD, it was showing as blank, and the same occurred on all other PC's I tried.
I then went onto my FreeBSD machine and did:
burncd -f /dev/acd1c msinfo
which returned : 0,14266 which shows something is on the CD.
I don't know if the CD wasn't closed properly, and this is why the problems are occuring.
I then downloaded CDRWIN on my laptop, and extracted it. It created two files.
dan.bin (size: 6.43MB (which was about right))
dan.cue (size: 16K)
I went into Nero 6 and did "BURN IMAGE", and selected the .cue
Again, when I load that CD, nothing shows, it just shows as blank.
Can you suggest any way of getting these documents back? They are really important to my sister, and I have most definitely learnt my lesson to check before proceeding.
When I view the .bin file there are thousands of lines of code of and some "English", so it definitely wrote something to the CD! I am getting more hopeful!!!
Can I use DAEMON tools for anything?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thank you in advance.
