Copy Data from Scratched CDs/DVDs

There must have been situation when you get really irritated when Windows stops reading an old/scratched CD containing important data. Dont panic in these situation - there is a solution with the name of Copy Cat 2.0.
A physically damaged disk area cannot be copied in any case. So, the trick is that if such area comes between a big file then Copy Cat skips the bytes which are not readable from file and copies all other bytes, so it may not extract the whole data but it tries to extract maximum data from un readable files - and this is the best that can be done.

It is compatible with XP and Vista and above all, it is a freeware.

So, now you wont see your old data lost somewhere in damaged CD
