This is pretty amazing. Using another program (a CD backup program), I tried making an .ISO from a CD -- and it took an hour (normally takes less than 10 minutes), didn't report any errors, and left me with an unusable .ISO file. Using another program (a CD recovery program), in about an hour I was able to get some good files, but still perhaps 20% of the main large file was bad.
With ISO Puzzle, it got all the good (easy to read) sectors in less than 10 minutes, getting down to about 30 bad sectors. After another 10 minutes or so, it got down to 10 bad sectors. It's been running for an hour now, and got 4 more of the bad sectors. I'm hoping to get a full recovery, but if not, it's already done more than the other programs.
If it isn't able to get those last 6 sectors, I'm going to try the "import" function -- this lets you try to read the remaining bad sectors on a different drive. Different drives have slightly different tolerances and such, which might allow the sectors to be read there.
For ASPI.dll, you just need to download it and have it in the same directory as IsoPuzzle. |
