I have backuped files on a CD and reformated my hard drive. CD burned without any errors and when I went to restore my files the data was unrecoverable off the CD.

Is there any way to fix the CD's that have my data on them

Thaniks in advance for any help

Got the following off of the Langa List (http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2003/2003-07-28.htm):

"Google took me to good ol' Shell Extension City, where I found the following: IsoBuster : The Ultimate CD/DVD data recovery tool! Rescue lost files from CD or DVD! Save important documents, precious pictures from the family, your only system backup, ... IsoBuster can do it all !.... IsoBuster lets you explore a CD's File System while by-passing Windows. This way you get better Error handling and several retry-mechanisms to aid you in getting the data anyway. More CDs stay 'readable' after problems (such as Buffer Underrun). Read and extraction of
files, tracks and sessions from CD-i, VCD, SVCD, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, DVD, DVCD. Mpg (*.dat) Extraction and dat2mpg 'in one'. ISO9660, Joliet, Romeo (Short File-names <-> Long File-names on
mastered CDs). Big Endian (Motorola), Little Endian (Intel)(The File System Windows sees vs. what Unix, Mac and other systems see). UDF 2.01 but also UDF 1.02 (e.g DVDs), UDF 1.5 (e.g. Packet writing on CD-R and CD-RW). Rock Ridge Support (e.g. for Commodore users). Single sector extraction. File system properties (must for FS developers). Neat features the OS doesn't offer. CD-Text support.....(free)"
