DVD disc pf pics is corrupted...can I fix this? Looked online but am confused...

[Sweet Elena]

Hello everyone!
I am hoping someone computer savvy can help me. I have a DVD disc with pictures and info on it. I was trying to access the pictures and it won't open them. They are just basic JPEGs, but it says it is corrupted and won't open or even give me a preview. I tried emailing them and they won't upload. I tried copying them straight from the disc to my computer but that didn't work either.
Any ideas or advice? Thanks!

Everytime that's happened to me I just washed it off, wiped with with something clean and tried again and it worked.
If you're using windows can just raw write the files if neccessary http://www.roadkil.net/program.php/P29/Unstoppable Copier

Try another computer. It could be the CD\DVD-Drive

what he said i had the same problem and cursed the disk, cursed bill gates, cursed the gods of the universe... and it turned out the cd/dvd drive was pooched. you'd think something that only gets used on rare occasions would last longer, but they don't

btw, a much easier option is purchase a couple of those 32 or 64 Gbit usb flash drives. 2 will give you a double backup, and they are so tiny that you can lug absolutely every picture you own around with you in your purse and easily display your pictures on your friends' computers. and let the cd/dvd drive pooch - who needs 'em anymore?
