| 169049 | 2003-08-20 23:32:00 | What is the damage Rik? I have just had scratches polished out of a Win 2000 CD for $5. Any Video Ezy or Civic Video store can accept CDs for polishng and they can deal with quite deep scratches. Do a Google search for "disk station" or "CD repair" (New Zealand only) and you will find other agents as well. Of course, if the damage is on the label side or it is a crack then that's the end of it I'm afraid. If that is the case, I am sure somebody could burn you a copy. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 169050 | 2003-08-21 00:46:00 | Maybe the version/level of Mandrake might help too. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 169051 | 2003-08-21 02:50:00 | Sorry, it is Mandrake 9.1 | rmcb (164) | ||
| 169052 | 2003-08-21 03:13:00 | > Maybe the version/level of Mandrake might help too. And a location if you don't want to download. Anyway. If its still partially readable you could rip an image of the disk then use rsync to fix the broken bits. It takes ~15mins on a dialup connection. |

| 169053 | 2003-08-21 05:54:00 | Yes it is still readable, in fact I can copy all dir´s and files off it but k3b wont let me do a copy. K3b gets to 99% of reading then comlains of an i/o error, as does trying to make an iso using dd. How do I do this rsync thing?? Cheers |

| 169054 | 2003-08-21 06:35:00 | If the fixes don't work or you prefer, I've got 9.1 if your anywhere near Welly (or don't mind covering costs) and I know another PF1'er who will have a copy very soon ;) Cheers Murray P |

| 169055 | 2003-08-21 07:25:00 | If dd gets most of the way then let is abort and there should be a signicicant chunk of the file written. You don't need all of the image to use rsync, but the more you have the less time it will take. If dd doesn't get enough try using the "readcd" command to make the image. It has an option to ignore errors. This will probably work: readcd dev=0,0 f=mdk91-1.iso -noerror -nocorr retries=2 To use rsync you will need to find a mirror site that supports the rsync protocol. IIRC http://www.kernel.org uses it and has mandrake mirrors. Otherwise visit the mandrake homepage or use google to find links. The general syntax is: rsync rsync://url/of/remotemdk91-1.iso localmdk91-1.iso When its done, check it against the published md5 checksum to make sure its ok. |
