exclusively by the software. It does not rely on Windows to provide or interpret
the data and so can work completely independent from Windows' limitations.

data anyway.
* The use of both generic and alternative ways to get to the data, get the best
out of your CD/DVD-ROM drive.
* The use of primary and secondary file-systems to get to the data and/or make
use of file system data that might be ignored or 'forgotten' by popular OS.
Explore the alternatives.

The
Ultimate CD/DVD and BD/HD DVD data recovery software! Rescue lost files from
a bad or trashed CD or DVD or a Blu Ray disc (e.g. BD or HD DVD) ! Save
important documents, precious pictures or video from the family, your only
system backup, ...IsoBuster can do it all! IsoBuster is a highly specialized yet
easy to use optical media data recovery tool. It supports all optical disc
formats and all common optical disc file-systems. Start up IsoBuster, Insert a
disc, select the drive (if not selected already) and let IsoBuster mount the
media. IsoBuster immediately shows you all the tracks and sessions located on
the media, combined with all file-systems that are present. This way you get
easy access, just like explorer, to all the files and folders per file-system.
Instead of being limited to one file-system that the OS picks for you, you have
access to "the complete picture". Access data from older sessions, access data
that your OS (e.g. Windows) does not see or hides from you etc.
