I connect the CD to a PC and can not read anything it appers blank 0MB.

PC will not know the MAC file strocture if the CD was formated to be used by MAC.
You will have to install something like MacDrive on the PC so that the PC can understand MAC format.

Thanks,

I have test with Macdisk , and nothing, now test with MacDrive, also nothing can not read the CD/DVD.

Thanks for the Help,

But the problem is this:

I think the cd is BAD

If it asks for a password, then it is likely to be password protected . Have you tried creating an image of the drive with Winhex or X-Ways? Can you post a screenshot of the password dialog box that you see?

I would also be interested in the sector view.... is it all zeros?

[zebong]

I can not edit, any sector, it take a lot off time, and it appear as BAD SECTOR

Will try to read it in a MAC to see the result, maybe the CD is not reading!

Will post them the result.

Thanks to all

That does sound like read errors.... I would suggest using ImgBurn on the PC to make an image of the disc. It will tell you if its having read errors or whatever the problem is.

Can you look at the back of the CD and see if anything is written??? If something is written, try different drive. Sometimes, one drive can read a slightly damaged CD/DVDs while the other drives can't due to the surface damages.

So far, I'm getting a really good luck with the Sony external DVD writers to read damaged disks. I also use read-only DVD drives for the disck that can't be read on my Sony.

thanks to all,

I am waiting for the MAC computer to read it there and see what happen them post here the result.

Might be a silly suggestion, but is there any chance disk is a RW disk that has been formatted? Even password protected CD should have a valid LBA and at least accessible HEX.

Does customer know the software used to protect CD? I am not aware of standard CD protection feature on Apple OS.

Hi Again,

I try to read the dvd on the MAC, but the problem is not password protect .....

No the client say´s that can not read the CD

i try in the PC with other ODD and now i could get 1 track with ISOBUSTER, but nothing there.

i try to edit the sector with winhex and it give error in sector 0.

i try to edit the sector with winhex and it give error in sector 0.

It's a closed DVD, noyt a hard drive !!! Why did you think that you could "edit" something on a DVD that is already written ?

Hi,

when i say "edit" off course i can not edit/write a CD/DVD, but i can see the sectors.

Did you try to image it with imgburn or something else?
