Apparently I'm the techie guy at school; enough for one of my professors to email me with a question that I've yet to answer. Here's the message:
As I recall you're pretty good at making sense of PC craziness, so I
thought
I'd ask you whether you may have seen this issue before...
A client "closed" a CD-R with multiple sessions, written as packets
(the
whole "fake floppy" thing). After that, he can only see a single short
audio session (which is empty, laid on as part of "closing" the disc),
and
the data apparently is on "track 0" technically speaking, in front of
the
index. Thus computer's assume its garbage or useless.
Have you seen this? If so, do you know of any nibblers, or tools on PC
that
can read a CD-R sector by sector to recover data?
I'm gonna do some research, but any of you have any ideas?
