Copy pictures off a cd problem

Romeo21779 · 15-May-05, 03:59 PM

I burned all of my digital pictures to a cd before my hard drive crashed and now I am having trouble getting the pictures back on to my computer. I can get about half of the pictures on the cd onto the computer then it stops and gives me an error.(attachement) Is there any way I can salvage the pics or am I SOL? Any help would be greatly apreciated. I have about 3 gigs of pictures and i will be very mad if I lose alot of them. Are there any programs that will possibly be able to recover the data? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, a couple of questions.
1. Were the pictures zipped in any way? (batches, folders, etc...)
2. Is it every picture after a certain point that gives you the error, or does it just break the copy cycle?

If the zip file is giving you a crc error, or files w/in the zip are giving you the error, there are a couple of programs out there to repair zip files. (have to be at home to find the names tho...) Depending on where the crc error is, most may be recovered. There are some that will only be memories tho......

seems as though its that single file. try copying everything except that one file.
doubt these are zipped. he most likely copied the files from a camera then copied those to a cd.

That is correct. The files were copied off the camera and then onto a cd. The copying just stops at one point and then gives me the error. It looks like the pictures after that point are lost.

Sorry m8....it's probably just one file, but i had the exact same problem copying my mp3 collection to cd when i formatted my computer. It taught me one thing....

flash memory drives and external HDs are the way to go.

If it's just one file, try copying everything but that file. Or do it the hard way..... Try copying each picture separately. That will tell you which pictures cant be copied over. It's a pain I know, but i did that with my mp3's too
