I have an old unfinalized CD-R from 10+ years ago which I had written some data to using an old Compaq Presario (can't remember the designation, but we got it back in 2000) running Windows 98, which has since been e-recycled or otherwise destroyed. When I try to open the disc on a newer computer running Windows 7, the disc appears empty but with the option to autorun. Opening the disc (which appears to be titled C2UDFFS.ISO) results in the following dialogs:
PacketCD: You have inserted a disc with an OSTA UDF filesystem. This disc cannot be read by your system without additional software. To install the necessary driver press 'Yes'. (clicked Yes)
RunDLL: There was a problem starting setupx.dll, the specified module could not be found.
PacketCD: The PacketCD OSTA UDF reader driver has been successfully installed. To activate the driver the system needs to be rebooted. Shall the system be rebooted now? (clicking Yes does nothin11g)
When I open this on an old Dell Inspiron running Windows XP, the disc opens correctly but only shows one empty folder which cannot be opened or copied. On my modern system, I tried using IsoBuster to scan the disc and it revealed a rather complicated folder structure beyond the single one appearing in XP, but I don't see any files listed there, only folders. I can't seem to extract the files at all using IsoBuster, though. I also tried CDRoller but I get similar results there as well.
Is it possible at this point to obtain the data, or could it be that the disc experiencing other issues apart from not being finalized?
