Disc Data Disappeared?
CD/DVD Diagnostic to the Rescue

$49.99 Program Recovers Unreadable Documents, Presentations, Images & More from CDs and DVDs

  LINCOLNSHIRE, IL (September __, 2003) — The next time you think you’ve lost a crucial Power Point presentation, essential QuickBooks files, digital photos of your baby’s first birthday, or digital video of your dream vacation that you burned onto a CD or DVD, don’t panic.  CD/DVD Diagnostic, a $49.99 program from Arrowkey, Inc., can retrieve unreadable Windows files from uncooperative discs with a bit of automated detective work and copy the rescued material to your hard drive — without the need for any hardware other than your PC.

  CD/DVD Diagnostic recovers data from unreadable, scratched, or corrupt CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, including those created on Macintosh and Linux systems as well as discs produced with the new DVD recorders that record directly from TVs onto DVDs.  It searches for and reconstructs both damaged files and damaged directories regardless of the software that was originally used to record the files. 

  The program scans any disc inserted into the PC’s CD or DVD drive, displays a list of all files discovered, and allows users to preview the contents before copying specific files or the whole disk to the hard drive or external media.  Special features include:

  ·        Automatic retry capabilities enabling users to select how many additional recovery efforts should be made in the event the initial attempt fails. 

·        The ability to locate files that have been dropped from the directory structure, which is a common occurrence for UDF format discs utilized by most “drag-and-drop” CD burning software.

·        Readability testing of the entire disc to gauge the extent of the damage, enabling users to determine whether recovery efforts are futile as well as whether the disc can be re-used for other purposes.

·        Built-in disc memory for fast access to all files that have already been recovered, eliminating lengthy re-discovery of a disc’s contents.

·        The ability to interrupt a disc examination and resume where you left off.  

The product reads and recovers data created in all major PC and Macintosh CD and DVD filesystem formats, including ISO-9660, Joliet, UDF, HFS and HFS+; Rock Ridge discs for Linux and other Unix systems; and DVD-Video and DVD-ROM discs.

It can also recover audio tracks from standard audio CDs if the problem is related to scratches, skipping or other external damage.  The rescued tracks can be copied to a hard drive and then transferred to a new CD.

Specifications, Pricing and Availability

CD/DVD Diagnostic operates on any PC running Windows 95 through Windows XP, and requires several hundred MB of free hard drive space to recover data from a problematic disc.  It can be used with any disc drive.  The program can be downloaded for $49.99 directly from Arrowkey, Inc., and it comes with a money-back guarantee.  For more information or to download a free evaluation version, call 888-759-0600 or visit www.InfinaDyne.com
