Cracked CD. Won't read in drive. Is there no hope ???

[kwunder]

Hi,
Major disaster. I have 30 years of family memories, in the form of photo's on a CD, which, on getting it out of the case, has just cracked from the center to the outer edge. It tries to read in the frove, but won't. Is there any hope whatsoever of salvaging ANYTHING from this disc. Apart from the straight line crack the rest of the disc is untouched.

In desparation, THANKS

No. Unfortunately, the disk wouldn't read at all.

If I do have success with a pro recovery service, I'll post back with the results etc.

Thanks a lot !

Contacted one Data Recovery service today and PHEW !!!!!!!! They quoted between £350 & £1000 to do the job. I think I'll have a shop around. That is just TOO expensive
