Note that there are software utilities for reading CD's that have errors to extract the files anyway. One I've seen (can if config'd) ask you (over and over again) if you want to try and re-read the data-block (within the file) that errored. Ad-infinitum. Even if an error persists, you can still extract files with those errors in them, so one may still have a photo but with a blotch in the file (like a scratch, with severity depending on data format, error location, error size, etc). Of course if the scratch is in the most inappropriate spot of the CD, things could get harder.... I suspect. :-) Mike K. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
