I had saved years of business information to a DVD using RSJ and a pioneer 109 CD/DVR writer. However my Pioneer 109 failed yesterday after only 6 months and I purchased an LG today but find that it wont read the DVD that has my informatioin on it. This is either due to : 1. Having saved the data just prior to the partition corruption. 2. The Pioneer 109 perhaps being faulty at the time and thus writing faulty info to the DVD. 3. My LG perhaps using a different reading format. I hope it is the last and am requesting the help of anyone who has a Pioneer 109 and RSJ on their system to help. What I would do is to send the DVD (which has a 200+ MB file on it) to see if it can be copied and if so then the file could be zipped and sent to me. It would save me a lot of work entering years of data from paper records. If anyone can help could you send me your postal address and I will forward the DVD.

Having saved the data just prior to the partition corruption. Quite possibly your partition data and files was already partly corrupted. > 2.

My LG perhaps using a different reading format. Not possible. While RSJ has a slightly different approach to writing to a DVD or CD, it will still be in a compatible format. Chances are that if the data is unreadable in your new LG burner, it will be unreadable in ANY burner. > I hope it is the last and am requesting the help of anyone who has a > Pioneer 109 and RSJ on their system to help. > What I would do is to send the DVD (which has a 200+ MB file on it) to > see if it can be copied and if so then the file could be zipped and > sent to me.
