| 10645 | 2001-03-29 13:04:00 | I was using DirectCD to back up all my data on an HP 7200E with Win 95. Unfortunately in a misguided effort to use as much of the CD-R as possible I would leave the session open so I could continue to add files without using space to open and close sessions. Someone physically ejected the CD-R when it was nearly full. It now says there is not enough space to close the session and wont show any of my 3 months of back-up data which I had already deleted from my HDD. There is definitely approx 600 Mb of data there but the HP and my standard CD ROM wont read it. I now know not to use DirectCD and have changed to East CD Creator, but I'm desperate to recover my data. HELP anyone? | Guest (0) | ||

He are a couple of suggestions. Try making a copy of the CD, just for safety. Next, try starting a new session. This worked for me on one occasion and enabled me to get back and copy the files out using Explorer. Failing that, the new version of Direct CD 5.0 has a repair utility. I have not yet had to use it but it may help. Try and find someone with a copy and try it. Failing that, try Adaptec's web site, technical help. Be prepared for the worst. It may be easier to recover the deleted files from your HDD depending on how long ago and if it has been defraged since. | Guest (0) | ||

Ditch direct CD,and other burning programs, download a copy of Nero, and Clone CD, you will find that you have a lot less trouble with these programs, and reduce the coaster collection. Remember to disable your antivirus, and any other programs when burning, as these can cause write problems, and 'Burn Baby Burn' |
