IsoPuzzle is a small (91 KB's!) and fast
software to recover data from scratched and damaged CD's or DVD's, We
have earlier discussed about recovering data fron scratched disks
using products like toothpaste and metal polish, IsoPuzzle comes handy
when scratches can't be removed and data recovery is required.
The goal of this program is to recover as much as possible data of damaged, bad burned or scratched cd dvd
Please note as of now Audio CD, VCD and SVCD are not supported, All
recovered data is stored in an "ISO" image file which can be read by
mounted on various software such as "Daemon Tools", Every successfully
read sector is stored in the image file (*.ISO) and will be marked
"good" in the corresponding "flag" file (*.FLG).
If a read error is encountered a dummy sector will be written which
will remain marked "bad". In this case a random number of sectors are
skipped for faster progress.
Reaching the end of the disk a retry loop will be entered until all
sectors have been read or a selectable "Give Up Time" has been reached.
After selecting the "Source" drive and the "Destination" folder the copy process can be started by pressing "Start".
The suggested filenames are taken from the DVDs volume label.
The copy process can be interrupted at any time by pressing the "Pause" button and can be continued by pressing "Start" again.
This way You can try to complete Your image file even on different
machines with different CD drives - often one drive can read some
sectors which are unreadable for an other one.
For using different drives You can share the image file *.ISO (together
with the flag file *.FLG) on a network drive or put it on a portable
disk (USB).
