To sum it up quickly, I've done something stupid and need some help.
I've got a very rare audio CD ca. 1986 that I keep in storage for safe
keeping and play a CDR copy that I made. Well, the CDR that I made has
been damaged - the outter edge of the disc is missing a "chunk."

The disc still plays fine in an audio CD player (I've been listening to
it in my DVD player just now) since the chunk of the disc that broke
off didn't "cut into" the recorded section of the disc.

I'm trying to re-copy it from the damaged CDR to a new one (and to my
hard drive for safe keeping), but every time I put it into my CDR
drive, the disc isn't recognized/read (computer acts like the drive is
empty). As I stated above, the recorded section of the disc is fine,
the damaged "chunk" is on the outter edge.

I'm using Windows ME and Adaptec Easy CD Creator to try and copy this
disc. Does anybody have any suggestions on salvaging this recording?
Normally I wouldn't care, but the original is in storage about 2.5
hours from my home and it's an awful long way to drive to get a new CDR
made.

Thanks!!

Can you feed and record the audio from the audio player to the computer ?
