Is it possible (even in theory) to read a CD-R with a corrupt or missing TOC? I have a disc that was the only recording of a live performanace, which appears to have failed while being finalized. It clearly has data on it and there were no errors reported while burning, but it is not recognized at all by normal players and it shows up as either blank or invalid depending on which burner hardware/software i try to read it with. the part of the disc where the lead-in should be looks blank. it is an audio disc. is there any way to recover the track data or do a low level read and try to reconstruct it. i am willing to invest a few days worth of coding and a small amount of money (if for example i need a burner with better firmware support for recovering bad discs) tom
