SD disk recovery

Restoring data from a CD can be a difficult task, especially if the disc is damaged or has physical defects. However, there are several methods and software tools that can help you recover data.

1. Try using another computer or drive: Sometimes the reason for a non-working CD drive is that it is incompatible with your computer. Try connecting the drive to another device to check.

2. Surface cleaning: If spots or dirt are visible on the surface of the CD-disk, clean it with a soft cloth and alcohol (do not use acetone). Be careful when cleaning - avoid cyclic movements along the radius of the disk.

3. Restoring file systems: There are various programs for restoring file systems on optical data carriers (CD/DVD), such as IsoBuster and CDRoller. These tools scan the contents of a disk image and allow you to extract information without accessing the physical medium itself.

4. Data recovery software: If the file system on the disk is damaged, you can use programs to recover deleted or lost files. Some of them are Recuva and PhotoRec.

5. Professional data recovery services: In case of serious damage to the CD-ROM, you can turn to optical drive repair specialists or companies that provide professional data recovery services from physically damaged discs.

It is important to remember that the success of the operation depends on the degree of damage to your CD and its condition before the start of the procedure.
