I have a truck repair manual on CDR which I've used only a dozen times. I didn't make a back up as I use this infrequently. No visible defects except for possibly a small "bubble" next to the spindel hole and well inside the data area. Otherwise, seems clean as a whistle. ["Lead Data, Inc." mfg the CD]
Today, it won't read. CD Diagnostics reports a gross % of soft errors on one PC and another PC won't even recognize the disc.
Nero copy mode shows errors and stalls out.
I guess I'll need to buy another.
But, just wondering, any ideas on if this might be salvagable? How? The failure itself disturbs me as I never thought a CD would fail so secretly. Any comments on why this happened might be enlightening.
Thank you.
Thanks.
