1. use something like badcopypro to copy the bad file off the cd/dvd
2. prayed you either included sufficient recovery record in rar or par2's

Yea, funny, I just downloaded badcopypro now.

 

[ruffilb]

If badcopypro CAN download the file off of the disk, I still need a recovery record?

 

[ruffilb]

Wow, so I go to analyze the disk, and it's all like, You must pay 39.95 for a key in order to actually RECOVER your data, SUCKER!

🙁

People use them on Usenet for obvious reasons, but there's no reason not to use them especially if you're creating a multi-part RAR and burning it onto CD/DVD.

I use them all the time.

I keep PAR2 sets alongside all my important data and projects.

Why PAR2? It certainly makes sense for Usenet, but for a CD archive like this where anything could be bad(including the PAR files), wouldn't a WinRAR recovery record be better?

How does a winrar recovery record work? My parents just got divorced, so I've got to do lots of large-scale data transfer between houses (but that's a story for another time).

A recovery record is almost exactly like a PAR file, but the data is embedded in to the RAR archives all over the place.

Ok, so I reburned the CD and got it. Lo and behold, missing episodes 51-59 of naruto /cry

Anyone have a download link for these?
