The problem with dvds is that they have massive error correction on
them. Thus by the time they crap out, there is a huge error rate
But certainly try reading it slowly, try reading it on different drives,
try on the same drive it was recorded on, etc.

Would this work in reverse? As in, burning a CDROM in a DVD burner
resulting in a sloppily burned CDROM?

One would think that the things would have become more accurate, not less.

Mplayer is amazing, it can mostly play an iso or image of a complete DVD and
with some magic figure out how to play it.

What I mean is that _IF_ mplayer find the data and start to play it, it'salso
possible to save the songs as files.

But in any case, a file image of the CD is needed for a recovery, since it can
fail and it's good to keep the original copy for a new try.

I've used CDFS to rescue a friends photos in the past. It doesn't
appear to be supported recently but its located:
http://users.elis.ugent.be/~mronsse/cdfs/

Good luck!

Another useful looking tool that relies on something actually booting in
some way.

There does seem to be a few options to look at though. Cheers.

I'm thinking this disk is a write off though, including the data on it.

I don't think this requires the disk to "boot" (mount). But it may
not fit your needs. I use it to recover data from a muti-session data
disk that has had a newer session write "junk" over a previous "good"
session. I don't think it relies on the actual master file system.
But, Ive been incorrect before.

Isn't it overkill for this purpose ? You can select the session number
in the mount options when mounting a multisession CD-ROM the usual way.

Not got there yet. Just finished all the "try it in this machine, and now
this drive..." stuff. Next up, the software options.

I did find another CDROM, same batch, with more data on it, that has the
same (I assume, by it's errors) problem. I'm seeing a pattern. something,
some day, was barfing up disks. The strange thing is, they must have
worked back then, as I always check every burn to make sure it "stuck".

There may have been a reason they were so cheap. >:(

I'll settle for a massacre if it gets this data back. ;\

I have no idea what you mean by "booting" It is not an operating system
disk. It is simply a disk full of files. Did you mean "mounting" rather
than "booting"?
What error messages do you get when you try to mount it? What did you
use to write the data to the disk? Is it and ISO 9660 filesystem?

Can it be read at all? You might try doing dd on it to get the data onto
a file on your system.

dd -if /dev/sdb -of dvd-contents.iso

Oops! My bad. I did indeed mean "mounting". (Playing with multiple
projects can suffer terminology cross-over.)

So far I can't get anything to read the disk at all. No mounts work, and

#-> dd if=/dev/hda of=/tmp/disk.out
dd: reading `/dev/hda': Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 1.39585 s, 0.0 kB/s

....is about as far as I've got with this disk.

That looks bad, just as the cdrom never load properly.

If you have cdrdao installed you should get some good
info with the command cdrdao disk-info

I did the same test that you did with my rescue CD,
and the result was:

# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/rescuecd.iso
332752+0 records in
332752+0 records out
170369024 bytes (170 MB) copied, 55.2196 s, 3.1 MB/s
# mkdir /x
# mount -o loop,ro /tmp/rescuecd.iso /x
# ls -l /x
total 130510
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2007-11-25 19:04 bootdisk
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-11-30 19:51 isolinux
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2007-11-20 22:07 syslinux
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 133632000 2007-11-25 19:12 sysrcd.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 2007-11-25 19:12 sysrcd.md5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 876 2007-11-16 09:28 usbstick.htm
# umount /x

So that is what you should expect, but try with ddrescue instead.

Yes, it may well be overkill BUT when I did a search on the "problem",
that was one of the solutions. It kept me entertained for awhile and
actually worked.

My problem is that I can't get anything to read the disk.


mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hda /mnt/tmp

mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/hda /mnt/tmp

mount -t auto -o ro /dev/hda /mnt/tmp

....all bomb out with errors.


From /var/log/syslog
