After trying to recover/extract data in some badly encoded DVDs using ISOBuster, I started to noticing that the DVD burner in my one week old Acer laptop suddenly stopped reading/recognizing all forms of CD media.
To be specific, the damned drive just doesn't recognize any CDs whatsoever. DVD write/read capabilities are still there however, but a non-CD compatible laptop would just look dumb.
I must say that I've had some decent experience in the data recovery field already but this is actually the first time that I actually ran into this kind of mess.
The culprit DVD media was not even that crappy. Some DVD players just wouldn't recognize the disc so I did a software-based recovery initiative which proved to be successful - at the price of my burner's CD compatibility.
Has anyone here experienced this issue already? Can I still do something to save my drive? Or should I really just forget about trying to recover bad DVD discs?
