On the other hand once you learn Linux you will discover no application is needed. You simply mount it using the loopback device. --8<-- /usr/cdrom/xxx.iso /usr/cdrom iso9660 user,rw,loop=/dev/loop2 0 0 --8<-- And then use "cp" as normal for copying them off. However, this is no help if there is a hardware problem. And randomly placed errors that come and go indicate a hardware problem not a media problem. The person who asked for this trick had forgotten he was draining the swamp and was distracted by an alligator two counties away. {^_-}
