I owe you many thanks; I was troubleshooting an extremely rare acquisition I made not too long ago for preservation and it had a small but unusual scratch pattern and would not dump the other half of the data.dxa file. I was somewhat skeptical, but your Recovery Tool Box did the trick and I can boot it up without incident. Saved me hundreds on potentially lost data and disc resurfacing (which I may still do, but I at least don't have to worry about the data).
I want to thank you so much for this video. I read some of the negative comments, and I don't know what state their discs were in, but I had 12 Home videos that had started corroding, computer could not even read the discs properly, and i was about to lose 15 years of precious memories, but thanks to you taking the time to help people, I managed to save over 90% by using both of your suggestions. Yeah it took hours for the process, but it was so worth it. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much!! Recovery Toolbox worked liked a charm. When it gets to the damaged parts it did really small increments of data copy and eventually got the whole file out!! I tried Roadkil unstoppable copier before I found this video and it did not work. I'm so happy, tyvm!!!
The quality of this video held up so well, I had to do a double take when I looked at the upload date. That first program is VERY slowly, but surely one KB at a time, transferring the ancient 128mb video file from the disc I found. This will take a while, but DAMN, it seems to be working!
OMG thank you so much. Recovery Toolbox worked for me!!! I tried roadkil before finding this video and it just got stuck in the middle. But with Recovery Toolbox, it should me tiny little progressions until it got passed the damaged areas. TYSM!!
BTW, if you really want to repair CDs and DVDs, keep a Aleratec DVD/CD Disc Repair Plus Kit around your house, they're very handy. :) They sell them all over the place online, some local stores probably have them too... but probably for a lot more than somewhere like Newegg or Amazon.
Do not go in a circle ONLY go from the center out because the data is written in a circular fashion like on old records so going in a circle can cause even MORE data to be LOST.
Thank you Britec, you saved my life with that software. I have successfully recovered a file of me when I was kid because the CD was extremely scratched.
I have a set of Maxell blue ray discs that need some data recovery. They were written within the last three years, but some couldn't be read. There maybe some infinitesimally small stains on a few of them, otherwise there are no visible scratches on the written surface. You can clearly see the data tracks that were burnt onto the disc so the data must still be there. Maxell BDR's are rather fickle (no wonder they discontinued them). I cleaned the BD reader and the discs and the discs still can't be read. I'll try the applications you suggested.
thank you. This software does work. I had a dvd with some pics on it that i transfered from a camera to it because my flashdrive was full. But i don't think it was finalized properly causing the problem.
dude can u help me i have a dvd which is not working,the comp doesnt recognize it.but when i put other dvd they work.help i have sm important data in it and i need it.i tried this recovery fix but it says no dvd inserted
I tried Roadkil's unstoppable copier for a movie DVD that was heavily scratched and the process went really slow like it had coppied the first 32 seconds within 2 days of coppying and the outcome wan not great as well the coppied video kept on glitching is there any way to speed up the process?
i want thank you for this shared and sample video. thank you for sharing this software devices.specially for the new techie begginers its helps a lot its Amazing...
Unfortunately the first software website is blocked by malwarebytes saying there is a Trojan and the second website doesn't have that software available. Any others for 2020?
Britec, I want you for make a tutorial about opening unfinalized DVDs. I have many of them, for example, 2006 Jetix, Johny English from our local TV Prima (2006) etc. But our Sony HDDxDVD recorder from 2005 went out before many, MANY years ago. Please, could you do that tutorial and bring back my childhood? Thanks :3
I hav a dvd but it was broken exactly into 2 parts. i really want to fix this dvd... please can u help me how can i fix this for once....for which i can get back my study material files inside this dvd??
Hi, thanks for the tutorial! would like to ask if I am able to recover my dvd data, in which when the dvd is placed in the dvd drive, windows said that there is nothing found in the dvd, and I assume the dvd has been reformatted?
Hi, tried to open the file but get prompted to download and install the latest version of the same file. Kindly suggest how to open the file without these prompts. If i dont accept to download and install, the file does not open.
hi i have my probnlem on my pc.. it cannot be reset, it says that insert windows installtion or recovery media,.. how can i fix this.. please help me..

I'll say it once, that this is ONLY a wild idea. The only guess I would have, is if you flattened the disc against a surface perfectly. Then you get some super glue and pour it into the cavities. Before you do that though, you would need something, perhaps scotch tape would work, to contain what glue you pour in there. Let it dry and remove what portion of tape you can. The remaining tape stuck to the glue would be inconsequential. The danger of this not working depends on how accessible the cd player is, because the super glue could shatter under the stress of spinning and thereby could be a nuisance, if not worse, of the player ever working again. I have never had cause to try this, but if you have a really old or cheap cd player you don't mind losing, it might be worth the gamble, and you might learn something besides. No, scratch that. Because the disc, when done in the manner described, would stick to the flat surface as well, though you may be able to find something so thin (maybe even the sticky side of more scotch tape?)that you can still lay the disc flat on, which ends up stuck to the cd because of the poured super glue, but still doesn't interfere with proper spinning. I know if I had a disc like that, and had a mothballs cd player, I sure would give it a try, or at least a variation of this.

Even in 2020 this video helped me alot thanks man bcz of you i restored my family's old pics

It worked for me, had a dvd with an important footage on it, took a few days to recover, but it was worth the wait. Thank you
Love the desktop background of the Windows logo. Looks like four 3D plastic pieces that you can almost 'smell' lol.
I used Roadkill on a damaged audio CD and, in about 1.5 seconds got 18 .cda files, each one kilobyte. I have no idea what to do with these files.
Thanks, this did the trick for me, got my video's back, what a relief!!
hey how did it work for u please tell?
Newsflash -- It worked! Didn't think it would. Awesome tool, thanks!
Where there's a will there's always a way.
Thanks so much. Do you have testimonials of people recovering data even on discs where there is a split or cut in it that is taped together?
BTW, if you really want to repair CDs and DVDs, keep a Aleratec DVD/CD Disc Repair Plus Kit around your house, they're very handy. :) They sell them all over the place online, some local stores probably have them too... but probably for a lot more than somewhere like Newegg or Amazon.

Hello, what if Recovery Toolbox does not see the disc after inserting it? Is the data on the disc unrecoverable?
Thank you Britec, you saved my life with that software. I have successfully recovered a file of me when I was kid because the CD was extremely scratched.
which software did you usem
Not sure on that one give it a go and see if it works.
I have a set of Maxell blue ray discs that need some data recovery. They were written within the last three years, but some couldn't be read. There maybe some infinitesimally small stains on a few of them, otherwise there are no visible scratches on the written surface.

I cleaned the BD reader and the discs and the discs still can't be read. I'll try the applications you suggested.

By the time you invent that. disks are going to be obsolete.
