Making Data Discs Using DirectCD
1 Checking the CD: ScanDisc checks if it can read the CD, that
is, can it see the list of files and folders on the CD.
2 Getting CD Information: If ScanDisc cannot see the files and
folders on the CD, it gathers information about the CD. This
can take several minutes or more.
a After gathering the information, ScanDisc asks if you want
to recover the files on the CD. We strongly recommend that
you do this if you need to access the files. See Recovering
Files on page 70.
b If you decide to recover the files, ScanDisc allows you to
select the folders and files to recover and where you want to
copy them.
c If ScanDisc finds damaged files during the recovery process,
it displays a list of the damaged files it recovered. See
Recovering Lost Files on page 71.
3 Finding Lost Files: ScanDisc looks for lost files and allows you
to copy any lost files it finds to another location. See Recovering
Lost Files on page 71.
4 Repairing the CD: ScanDisc tries to repair the CD so that you
can use it again. After the repair, the files that were on the CD
may not be available and the CD may have less space for new
files. ScanDisc may not be able to repair badly damaged CDs.
See Repairing CDs on page 72.
