02:02.05fishheadheh you know that external 3x scsi cdrom I said was a good random number generator because you got a different md5sum on a file every time off a cdr?  well I fixed it, you have to switch the switch to scsi-1 mode not scsi-2, it works but it's so slow and stuff I will probably scrap it for parts like I was going to do anyways
04:26.42fishheaddoes anyone know what would be better for recovering data from damaged cdr's, a old scsi cdrom or a modern ide cdrw or dvd+rw burner ?
11:52.31sunrunner20whats dammaged?
11:53.19sunrunner20scratched to hell?
11:53.30sunrunner20if so
11:53.32sunrunner20put it in
11:53.39sunrunner20but DO NOT USE EXPLORE on it
11:53.50sunrunner20get winiso and tell it to make an image of the disk
11:54.01sunrunner20windows explorer will pratically lock up
11:54.44sunrunner20also
11:54.50sunrunner20spit shine the disk's surface
11:54.53sunrunner20dead serious
11:54.56sunrunner20clean cloth
11:55.01sunrunner20spit all over the disk
11:55.07sunrunner20clean it
11:55.09sunrunner20its nasty
11:55.16sunrunner20but damn does that do a good job cleaning
11:55.24sunrunner20gets off stuff that normal cleaners won'
11:55.24sunrunner20t
11:56.09sunrunner20and
11:56.16sunrunner20the newer the reading drive the better
11:56.43sunrunner20if the data layers dammaged, your pretty much screwed
11:57.03sunrunner20(data layer= layer you write on. for cd-rs...)
11:57.14sunrunner20wish i could find a disk that had the data layer in the  middle of the disk or something
