Someone please help me. I have several old directcd disk that were not formatted - IE I just dragged and dropped files onto them. Unfortunately my cd drive died and I had to replace it. new one doesn’t work with directcd!
Now I also baught a new laptop, and with nero, it will read the disk that were formatted properly, but not the others. a friend gave me a copy of isobuster, but it isn’t registered and the tab is grayed out!
Very frustrated! Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Welcome to CD Freaks 
Sounds like your friend’s version had time-expired. I suggest to download a new trial version of IsoBuster from here:
imkidd57,
sorry to be so late responding, been very busy. No luck with the latest version, registration tab still grayed out! I guess my friends copy wasn’t on the up and up. Now I’m screwed. I have no way to retrieve those files.
Any more ideas? I’m really frustrated.
I suggest if the files are valuable to you then it would be worth paying for IsoBuster. Alternatively you could try CDRoller, for which there is a trial version and which other members have recommended in the past.
Give Isopuzzle a shot, its freeeeeeeeeee
