I have archives of data DVD-R's that I made a a few years ago with an external DVD-R DVD drive on a machine I no longer use. They were made on Windows XP. I have since switched to DVD+R still on windows.

To mount these files I hooked the old DVD-R drive. Some of the DVD?s showed my files. I retrieved them successfully by copying of the DVD. Others only showed a .bin file. I know that a .bin file is essentially a disc image. There is no visible .cue file.

My assumption is that when I backed up the now unreadable files-- I clicked ?compress? which created a disc image. These created a .bin file.

This drive was generic, has no brand, and no way to track down the original drivers for it. Although, as I said the discs do mount on windows up. I assume there is something preventing it from recognizing / seeing the data files on the disc.

Here is what I have tried thus far?

I copied this .bin file to a local hard drive.
I tried to burn this local .bin file using Nero. It will burn a disc but the new disc is unreadable.

I tried renaming the .cue file using the method on afterdawn: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/7976

Then I tried burning again. Doesn?t work.
I tried using Toast on OSX. Toast will not recognize the .bin file or the .cue file.
I tried convert .bin to .iso using ?bin2iso? then burning the .iso. No luck.

I have a PC Windows with a DVD+R drive. I have an external hooked up to that. I also have a Mac OSX with toast. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

Try using ISOBuster to extract the files from the .bin. Then burn the files.
