There are many types of CD recovery software available on the market. We recommend starting with one of the free options, if this fails then you may want to purchase a paid CD recovery software kit.
Prevent It!
Okay so this is not so much a cure, but by looking after your CD’s in the first place you can actually prevent important data loss from happening in the future. Firstly always store your CD’s in cold dark areas and away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in sunlight can wipe the memory of the CD if exposed for a long time. Also keep CD’s protected in their cases at all times to prevent wear and damage. And finally remember to back up information if it is important. Simply copy the CD to an external USB device, that way if anything goes wrong you have a spare copy.

Computers crash, and do so often. Not all crash and need to completely be reformatted, and most of the time they do not. Although there are times that they do crash and need to be reformatted. If this should happen many things can be wrong with the computer and it may not be just the software that failed. It is often times memory modules that fail or other pieces of computer hardware.
When a computer crashes and a reformatting of the computer must happen, all of the prior information such as important documents and pictures are wiped off of the hard drive. The most important thing to do is always make a back up of all of the information that is on the computer by burning a CD of the files that are needed. This insures that the information will not be lost and can easily be restored to the newly reformatted computer.
Most computers are sold with a Restore disc. Always keep this disc in a safe place. It is the disc that will be needed to restore the computer to its “new” condition. It will be the same as if you have just purchased a new computer when the restore disc is used.
It is always best to keep a copy of all programs on CD. Back ups of your system is always a smart idea, and will save you from having to find and reload from other sources like scanning all those pictures again. Keep all of your discs in a safe, moisture and sun proof place.
