[clug] Recovering old CD-Rs

[Simon Oxwell]

Hi all,

I'm going through a bunch of old CD-R's (some of which would be about 15
years old) and ripping them to ISO's while I still can, using GNU ddrescue.

However, I'm having troubles with a couple of disks that obviously have
something burnt to them, but the CD-ROM (and DVD-ROM) drive isn't
recognizing them as valid media, as presumably the disk's header has become
corrupt. Any ideas as to how I might be able to read raw data from these
CD-Rs?
