If you haven't got a CD recovery utility and need one,I know of a really good one. I discovered it some months ago. I have no vested interest in this except that I know it does a very good job. It's saved my you-know-what several times. It's called CD-R Diaqnostic and it cost $49.95. It's worth a lot more in value, in the long run. I'd be lost without it, since I do a lot of CD burning. I think there's a demo of some kind, but I don't know how full-functioned it is. If your interested at all, its at www.cdrom-prod.com. I just saw a thread by Keoto, I think,about lost CD-rom data, that's why I added this. I hope this helps.:0)
