I have stored computer data on four dvd+r discs.
They all seem to have failed,that is one is not even recognized as a
disc by the computer, and half the files have gone missing from the
others.
They have scratches on them.
The free versions of cdroller and isobuster will not recover the lost
files.
Is there anyway I can access these files again?.
I cannot believe they have all physically vanished
I am astounded that these dvd discs are so vunerable to failure due
to a few scratches.
Why are the Microsoft programs running on the computer so sensitive

to a few scratches?.
One would think they can display files with data 'holes' in them,but
they just seem to ignore the whole disc if one tiny bit of one data
track is scratched.
Grateful for any help ,Hartly.
