ISOPuzzle - recover data from damaged disks
Not to generalize too terribly badly, but if you have young kids then you probably have some damaged CDs around your house. If they happen to be important data disks, you may be able to recover some of the data from them using ISOPuzzle. Don't be put off by the very basic landing page; ISOPuzzle is a nifty little utility that will take whatever readable data that is on a disk, and dump it into an ISO disk image file, which can be opened using a number of tools. Of course, if the damage is severe, don't get your hopes up too much. It's not going to magically read or piece together missing information. If it's gone, it's gone. But what it will do is allow you to access the rest of the data on the disk to see if there is anything useful still available.
