FUCK!!!
....Basically I continued a multi session DVD but the session/burn failed and now the DVD can't seem to be read/recognized ("please enter a disk into drive X" error)
And yes, I realise that multiple muti-sessions burns is not without risk (I've had muti-sessions burns crap on me in the past.) which is why I usually temporarily back up all the data on the HD. But I've neglected to this time...
In theory, all the previous sessions that were burned correctly should still be intact...so why can it not even access those sessions?
For the record, the data was all MP3s, some of which that can no longer be found.
Is there any way to recover the data with programs like Alcohol120/60 or isobuster or some apps like that?
Help! My DVD burner pwned a dvd+r!!

This seems to work pretty well with almost everything. It's not free though, but there's a trial version that lets you preview files it finds, so you can at least see if it works. There's several different recovery modes.

Well, I tried another drive and it read all the old sessions fine, so yay. I'll keep the badcopy software bookmarked though.blackmyst wrote:This seems to work pretty well with almost everything.

I think the drive is just wearing down...Speaking of which, has anyone ever had a burner which lasted more than 1 year? (or a year and a half). Mine never last more than 18 months it seem, and I don't use them excessively or anything.
