Thread: Problem in reading data from DVD writer.

Guys,

Apologize for posting this thread in this section.

I got a sony DVD player last week and its writing well.

However i get ***** off while its reading data from disk.

Its not reading even if the disk has single crack.

What should i do now? I dont think its problem with writer.. I hope its due to my old system..data cable...or some thing else

Is any software there to read the data from cracked disk..

Please help me guys.

if by crack you mean a physical crack then its almost impossible for any drive to read that disc.if you mean scratch then the drive should be able to read it unless scratches are too much.

thats the problem i have only single scratch..

try wiping the CD with a soft cloth from center of the disc to edge of the disc direction not in circular direction.

i will try that..
however u meant to say that there is no software to read the data from disk efficiently...

try isobuster but remember that these tools will only work if the disc comes to a steady state after inserting into drive.

PS---did you check out the death note anime series i mentioned?

heheee... if you give any idea and if i think to try it.. then the next moment my connection would lost.... yes... i couldnt connect for the past two days... i called up xchange guy.. and he is saying they have some problem in server...

Now im in office.

PS - two movie writing issue is still there.. will tell u once i succeed...

no problem!btw one of my friend asked me the same thing about recovering data from a disc which has a crack not scratch a few days ago & i told him the same thing.

Hi ,
Well if the scratch is not deep then there is one more solution however its a bit unusual.
Place the DVD or CD on a flat surface and then using a perfume spray spray it on the DVD or CD evenly.By evenly i mean hold the spray not near the disc but it should be sufficiently far such that only the spray falls on the disc and not the drops from the perfume.
Then allow it to dry for sometime and wipe it using a soft cloth.

Well i can understand that u may think it as a method which is horrible.But it worked for me 4 times ....i have installed windows XP from a scratched disk on my machine.
I dont know how but it worked by this technique for few of my friends too.
May be its because the scratch gets covered by the perfume liquid spray.
Try it...

frds....
it sucks..... now its not reading the newly written disk...
wats going on...
is it problem with the new dvd writer??? or with the data cable??? something else???

nop... now its not at all detecting any disk....

for dvd writer just connect your dvd writer to some other computer to check its working with same discs.also check those discs with some other dvd writer.this way you can know for sure if the problem is with dvd writer or system.check your connecting cables too.

Hey
when u bootup, in the Bios does it show the DVD drive detected?If thats the case then .....ur cables are not correctly plugged in ...and if it shows up there then ....please verify that the name shown there is exactly the same as it appears on the drive.

WoW what a suggestion good! Thats all folks

I tried this method and my dvd was unreadable which was readable before.
The surface become white, i was shocked!!!!

Dont follow above mehtod and dont apply strong alcoholic products

Use bagpiper whiskey (if available ) or mild alcohol .Take a soft cloth then add few drops of mild alcohol over it then gently move over the surface of Disc.
Then Check whther its readable or not.

Will you upload disc image i want to see scratch (just wanted to check how deep it is)
