I have loads of CDs and DVDs in my archive mostly containing programs, photos and videos. Some of them are either damaged from the edges or scratched.
How can I recover my data on those old disks? Are there any physical implementations before using a recovery software?
What kind of protection methods do you recommend to extend the lifetime of disks?
Never tried, but if this works, amazing! Must try on some of my damaged cd's... They were never important enough for me to take to a pro. – William Hilsum – 2009-10-20T14:56:57.193
Thanks, Wil and Scott (+1). I never tried this but erstwhile I've heard that keeping CDs in refrigerator for a while (before recovery process) increases probability of data recovery. I really wonder the logic behind it... – Mehper C. Palavuzlar – 2009-10-20T18:10:33.687
