lost info on CD

[ohigirl67]

I'm not sure if I'm under the right topic....

I added new jpg files to a CD that I already had jpgs on. I have add files before no problem. This time I did use a different program, CDBuner XP..which I haven't had a problem with.

However this time when I finished I went to view my files on the disc and the only thing there were the new ones I burned. This is not a CD-RW. So how did it erase my files...I see the lines for the burn on my CD. How do I recover these pictures? This cd is like my photo album and they are important to me.

Thank you for your help!

When adding files to any disk once one program is used the same has to be used again since another program will have it's own coding and method for writing. The CDBurner XP program apparently overcame the original project information provided by the first used when placing it's own on the disk.

You may be able to read and copy files off of the disk while using a 3rd party type of explorer like Explorer XP or perhaps while booted into a Linux distro. But you also have to consider those lost if you can't find a 3rd party viewer to get past the second program's session information added to the disk.

Hopefully you'll be able pull all your missing files with this program. Good luck.

CDCheck - CD checking and recovery software

go back to the original program to see if it will recognize it or try a udf reader

IsoBuster would be one for that. UDF Reader software for CD/DVD/BD/HD DVD, includes file data recovery

IsoBuster also has a data recovery tool which would allow copying the files from the disk onto the drive for recovery as well as creating a second disk having an open session project with only one program used the next time around.
