All of my DCD backed-up files lost? Please help!
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2003 2:05 pm
Before I upgraded to my new hard drive, I used direct CD to copy all my important files - about 1.5 GB of text and data files - onto Direct CD formated memorex 700 MB CDs. This was under Win XP Pro (SP1) using the ECDC software that came with my LG GCE8320B. Depending on whether they were close to full, I left them either "as is", so that I could more data to them later, or "formated so that any CD reader could read them"; none were closed.
Now that I've installed my new motherboard and hard disk, the same windows OS and ECDC configurations will recognize the folders on the disks but will not open and read the contents of those folders. Under disk properties I can see that the disk is full - or close to full - but the drive won't read the contents and I cannot copy the contents to my new hard disk. I've tried it again on a friends system (with the same OS and ECDC setup) but I get the same result.
I have updated ECDC, too, but the problem persists. Is the data lost (unreadable) for keeps?
