"Unable to recover data from crashed data CD"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
None that worked for me
Cons
Went into forever loop and could not read data.
Summary
I used the free trial version and uninstalled it because I was not confident that the paid for version would work.
-
"Easy to download and to use."
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
It's free and it works. Well it did for me.
Cons
Takes rather a long time to do its magic. I expect the CD repairers that you pay for are quicker but I'd rather wait than pay.

"Would not work at all, let alone recover my media"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
Recognized my optical drive as an optical drive.
Cons
Would not recognize any media at all, just errors:
"Access violation at address 00407B05 in module 'CD_Reader.exe'. Read of address 00000001."Summary
Didn't do the job it was supposed to. IT may be great for you if you have a diffrent hardware of system config that it likes. For me it was a complete non-starter.
I'm running a Samsung SATA DVD drive under XP MCE 2005 w/ SP3 if it makes a difference. -
"It doesn't wprk fr dvd's NO SIRVE EN DVD'S"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
IT'S FREE, ES GRATIS
Cons
IT JUST DOESN'T WORK.SIMPLEMENTE NO FUNCIONA
Summary
It is a good try, and than you to the author for making it free, however, it does not work for dvd's

"Didn't work for me."
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
It's free and a very small download if you want to try it. Easy to uninstall too.
Cons
When this programme opened, the window was very obscure. It was not user friendly and I'm not sure that they checked the English. It was a non-starter for me and I ended up buying BadCopy Pro, which I wholeheartedly recommend: I had lost photographs on a DVD and it solved the problem in minutes.

"Didn't work"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Cons
Could not recover a video clip; CD Recovery Toolbox, also free, did the trick.
-
"did not help me with my problem"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
-
"It saved my thesis! - I signed up just to leave this review!"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
I installed the software, stuck the corrupted CD into the drive and clicked "Automatic Mod". Within a minute I had my data in a folder on my HD. That's about as easy as it gets. Thank you - you saved my thesis!!!
Cons
Pretty simplistic interface that is not very reassuring - To be honest, I didn't think it was going to work at first!
-
"excelent"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
this is the right software to rescue damaged dvds...works fine
-
"Very Good - Does what it says on the can"
Version: CD Reader 0.8.2
Pros
Quick, effective recovery. With CD Reader I managed to recover everything in 5 mins, and without having to pay someone as this is truely free. Worked far better than CD Data Rescue (Naltech) which didn't find any files at all!
Cons
GUI could be improved a bit, but no major complaints.
