CD Dilema

OK, i'm having problems with the cd's i burnt.


I've burned backups of certain programs in the past year or so and now I need to use one of them. (all on cd-r)


now i realize that i was a dumbASS and didnt care to finalize them.

problem some of the cd's were created on a diff cdwriter and this one reads the burnt cd's extremely slow and i really cant do shit with it cuz of the read speed (extremely slow)

i cant seem to finalize them now (since they were not created using nero, but winOnCd).

so, what should i do to get this data back? or is all hope lost?

probably less to do with finalizing and more to do with the tolerances of the writer you used to create or the one used to read, one might be out of alignment, or one was +5 and the other -5 which makes the disks noninteroperable.

try the cds in some other drives if you can find one that works, reburn them at a slower speed.

Also CD-R's do rot, it can happen quickly too. i reburn very important ones at slow speeds every 3-6 months, just in case, this is quite extreme but i really want that data to be safe. some disks can last 70+ years some <3 months

Could be crappy quality cd-r's.
I've got some that work fine on some burners (the ones at uni) but my burner cannot burn to it, and can only read from it VERY slowly... my dvd rom can read it from fine though...
