| 680479 | 2008-06-20 02:55:00 | If Windows tells me a DVD-RW is corrupted and can't be read, is it gone for ever, or are there tools that might allow me to recover the data? Vista says it is blank, XP says it is corrupted. AFAIK it should have data on it. |

| 680481 | 2008-06-20 03:41:00 | I came across This program here (www.roadkil.net) a while back. Ran it from a XP machine.Note: worth a try, cost nothing. Used it to recover some data from a Damaged DVD none of my own PC's would read - they all said it was blank, but I know it had over 2Gb worth of stuff on it, you unzip the file to your desktop (no install needed) Place your DVD in the drive, then from its menu, navigate to the DVD Drive, select a location to put the recovered files, and set it running, it copies any file it finds. DVD-RW's are crap any way - seen so many fail. |

| 680483 | 2008-06-21 04:53:00 | Well, it looks like I might be out of luck. I tried the two pgms suggested here, and also another one I found, but they all report an empty disk. Does anyone know whether a quick erase on a DVD-RW leaves data there? My guess would be that it does. |
