Well, I did get a couple files off the CD-RW. I think I lost all my
pictures though. I got one rainbow one and it shows up as a thumbnail when
copied but only the top bit when viewed in an image viewer. :( All my
pansy pictures are gone (and they were good ones too), and all my
boyfriend's photos are gone (again). I did get some other important data
from the CD at least.
What I did was write tarballs to the CD. So I opened them in Konqueror and
salvaged what I could. Looks very much to me like the disc is bad. :(
I'm pretty ticked. No more CD-RWs for me. We have a kazillion CD-Rs so I
should use them instead. And get a newer RW drive (this time I'll save up
for a DVD-RW type that does CDs as well - suggestions are welcome but I'm
on a very limited income so it has to be affordable. :)
I'm saving the old disc anyway, just in case I can read it with another
drive at a later time. I'm glad at least my CD-Rs work ok.
