I've got a photo backup DVD that is not wanting to be read. It appears that it was not finalized correctly.

When I put it in the drive, Record Now loads, as it thinks it's blank. The DVD is obviously burned visually, but the computer doesn't know this.

I tried to just copy the DVD, but no go.

Windows explorer won't recognize the DVD or any data on it.

So, does anyone know of any software I might use to try to retrieve the data from the DVD.

Thanks much Wazz, I recovered ALL the files from the DVD. It took almost an hour, but I DID GET THEM.

It was a program called GetDataBack. It was able to access the DVD for me. He sent me another tool, but I didn't have to use it. CDCheck.
