AnyReader: read from scratched CD/DVDs, unreliable
LAN (Wi-Fi), damaged floppy/flash disks, etc.
Effectively copy corrupt data from any type of disks
or faulty connections when standard copy methods
fail. AnyReader supports resumed downloads from a
remote PC if the connection was broken during the
copy process (especially useful for unreliable Wi-Fi
networks).
AnyReader is great for copying files from scratched
CD/DVDs or defective floppy/hard disks. Normally,
when your computer is unable to copy files from a
damaged disk it will abort and delete the part of the
file it has copied. AnyReader will continue copying
the file right to the end; any data that hasn't been
recovered after several retries is replaced with
blanks. This will allow you to effectively read every
byte of information that can be read.
Here are some situations where AnyReader can help:
your CD/DVD drive can't read a bad, scratched or
trashed disks; the standard copying method fails
because of an error, such as "(Bad CRC) A cyclic
redundancy check (CRC) checksum error occurred",
"Cannot read from the source file or disk", an
unknown error or a bad disk; you have 2 bad copies of
a file that you would like to put right; you can't
download a file across a wireless LAN because of a
bad connection, etc.
