Hi:
One of my users has burned a cd-r (Imation CD-R, 52x 700MB, 80 min; w/forcefield protective coating)
on her old pc that died.  She is not sure if it was burned or D2D - she had a friend help her who did the work.
The pc was a Dell and whatever version of Roxio that came with it.

We cannot read the cd - it shows up as a blank disk; however, her laptop can read it 2 out of 3 times.

The files are Word documents.  All involved pcs are Win XP S/P 2.

On my pc I started up Roxio Creator Classic - Ver. 7 (build 7.1.1.189 ENU) and went to:

Tools, Disc and Device Utility and it shows the following:

CD-R Single session (with Mode 2-XA data - Incomplete 1 session, 2 tracks Not recordable, used space: 702.8 MB)

If I click on the Finialize button I receive this error:

"Session Fixation Error - Empty or partially written reserved track in session - Illegal request."

If I click on a track and try to read the track I receive this error:

"Error # 0x15640001 - illegal mode for this track - Illegal request."

Any ideas on what we can do to be able to read these cds?  She has a lot of these cds - she made backups of all of her word documents for the past few years.

thank you very much,

George

Sounds in a bad way - you could try isobuster or cdroller to see if they can read it. If they can, you need to buy the programs to extract it, but at least you can check them out for free
