Title: opening old info on disc after it was formated.
Post by: jrpsete on December 04, 2004, 07:11:39 PM

In need of help.

I have all of my daughter first year of life pictures on a disc. While I was saving the last pic I take to the disc the (CD)disc locked and no longer lets me open the file(cd). When I do a disc scan it tells me that the disc utility is locked to unlock disc. I have also click on format and the program I have tells me that there is data on this disc. Problem is I can't see the pictures.
Please Help .

I read that a person who is really good with computers can open a file that was not completely format. I am hoping that whatever is going on with the disc I can restore back to view those picture.

Thanks,
I Mom In Need :-[ :'(

The program I Have is Ahead Nero 5 and Incd

You can not format a CD-R. Are you certain you were not using a CD-RW?

I donot think you can recover data from a CD-RW once it is formatted... A Hard Disk Drive is another story.
