    Default recovering lost data from a dvd-rw??

    Any advice for a DVD-RW that has been corrupted by AVS converter???

    I have a video camera and use these discs. i put it in my computer and it told me to download AVS converter, did that, the disc popped out and is now blank...............

    I have sent it to someone who has managed to recover all pictures but not all the recording, it only has about 5 mins if less of recording, but its the first 3 minutes that i really want!!


    Thought i would finalize the disc and save it all to the computer so it was safe.

    If anyone has any ideas or can recommend anyone please let me know.......

    i have tried isobuster but no luck.

    Gutted one off occassion that i wont get back, worst thing is try telling a 4 year old its gone.

    Thanks

    Disc or drive?

    The only thing I can think of off the top of me head is to go into control panel, system, device manager and delete the dvd. Turn pc off and reboot after a min or so, windows should either pick up correct drivers or ask you for the cd.

    Have you tried one of those recover lost data programs,undelete or http://www.winundelete.com/?rid=google&kid=wu0801 or http://www.tech-pro.net/how-to-recov...ted-files.html

    get an external 1TB disk drive for less than £70 now and save data regulary
