There are two possibilities here. a) Problem with AnyReader. Solution: re-download and reinstall. b) Problem with Windows. Solutions: scan for viruses, try Safe Mode, reinstall. Q: My daughter burned thousands of photos to four CDs and all four are unreadable; on some drives, the drive does not even detect the presence of a disk, on other drives, Windows presents a message that the format on the disk is not recognized or that the data is corrupted. With the AnyReader program, when we got to step 3 which lists what files were copied, the listing was blank; no files were copied, no bad sectors were found, just nothing was completed. So, I think AnyReader has met its match. A: Not really. AnyReader is not designed for poorly burned or erased CDs on which no files are detected by Windows. Its purpose is to bypass Windows when the OS refuses to copy files because of a scratch or a CRC error. AnyReader is only for copying. In your case, there is nothing to copy.
