| 334046 | 2005-03-14 19:40:00 | Hi fellow F1ers, I have a CD which was burned on my computer. My friend burned it for me and I am not sure if they used Nero Burning Rom or the XP burner. Anyways, I can see that there are files on the CD ranging from 50kb to 2mb. These are jpg files, but when I open the files using Windows Image and Fax viewer, a preview can not be displayed. Now I try photoshop, and I get a dialogf box telling me that a jpeg marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete). I have tried a data recovery program to extract anything I can, but it has not been successful. There might be another program out there that you recommend that I try. What can I do about the CD or getting the images back? There is about 650mb worth of image files on that bloody CD, and I really need them. :badpc: Thanks, |

| 334048 | 2005-03-14 19:47:00 | I would say it would have been XP's built in burning, more than Nero . Nero is more reliable . Check with your mate to find out what he/she used . And is that cd a CDR or a cdrw?? And was it finalised?? And what are u using?? XP?? |

| 334049 | 2005-03-14 20:38:00 | Try the demo from here www.datarescue.com I've found that this is the best indicator of what is recoverable. Then you can try other free programs in case they work. The Art Plus program didn't work for me on a formatted CF card when other programs did. Edit: Oops, photorescue only for camera cards. |

| 334050 | 2005-03-15 00:04:00 | You say they were burned from your computer, where did they come from? Where are the origionals? | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 334051 | 2005-03-15 03:21:00 | I fear that if the originals were deleted after the CD was made, you have probably lost them . :( Obviously something is wrong with the files on the CD . They are readable, but they are not proper JPGs . Read Only, CDRW, CDR are irrelevant . The files exist . You could try looking at them with Picassa or Irfanview (on someone else's computer -- every time you run Windows or install a programme, you are reducing the chances of recovering deleted hard disk files)) . If that's not successful (and I am not hopeful) your only chance is if a data recovery utility can reclaim the originals from your hard disk . (You have looked in the Recycle Bin?:)) . |

And is that cd a CDR or a cdrw?? And was it finalised?? And what are u using?? XP?? The CD is a CD-r, and I am using windows XP Pro SP2 . My friend is not the kind to know whether a CD was finalised or not . I put the cd back into the CD writer so I could finalise it if I could, but I could not do much . You say they were burned from your computer, where did they come from? Where are the origionals? Apparantly my friend deleted the originals after putting them on the CD like Graham said . Will look in the recycle bin though . |

| 334053 | 2005-03-15 03:40:00 | ive had a few dud disks, i burn stuff on it, a while later add more stuff, then it gets all stuffed up. those pink warehouse ones are crap. try a different brand of cds next time :) | Prescott (11) | ||
| 334054 | 2005-03-15 03:47:00 | I wish people would understand that you haven't backed up a file just by writing it to a CD or a tape or another hard disk. The originals should never be deleted until the copy has been successfully read. One mainframe I used had a command "COPYANDCOMPARE". It copied the files then compared them bit by bit with the original. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 334055 | 2005-03-15 03:50:00 | Nothing in the recycle bin and it was not a warehouse CD. And I tried Irfanview, but ti says that it cannot read the file header. Unknown File Format. :groan: |
