I had archived some files onto a Memorex DVD+RW. I am now ready to update the contents of the disc. I want to copy its contents to my h/d first, but am having problems.
WinExp hangs when trying to copy a few of the files. Eventually I get an error about cyclic redundancy.
When I hold the backside of the disc in strong direct sunlight at a certain angle, I can see a few dark spots and streaks on the dye surface. At least some of them seem to be associated with some small not very bad scratches on the surface of the clear plastic, a very small, short, light single scratch located on the edge of a fairly large round spot. It 's almost as if the plastic near the scratch has gone through some change and is casting a shadow on the dye surface.
I am stumped as to what the problem is. Is anyone aware what is happening with this disc?
Thx for any help with this.
