I'm using windows xp and twice now when I copy jpgs to cd you cannot read
them. It tries and usually gets a portion of the picture. Anyone know
why
and how I can save these pictures. Of course, they were deleted from my
documents. So I'm trying to restore them on my c drive or fix the cd
What happens when you try to copy the files from the CD to HDD? A "Cyclical
redundancy check" error means the disk, (or at least the portion on the disk
where the file is stored), is FUBAR.
You could try Nero's CD-DVD speed and run the Scandisk option to check the
disk
Another option might be ISObuster if it turns out the disk is defective,
though it could be the files were never written correctly in the first
place.
You don't say what software you are using to write the files, but you should
use data verification software, or turn on the option to verify data after a
burn.
Nero has this option, and you can use something like CDCheck, which is
freeware to compare the files on the disk with the ones on your HDD before
deleting the local files.
It sounds like you may not be able to recover the files unless they were
recently deleted and you use data recovery software in the hard disk.
Sorry...
