  Art13565657March 19, 2014

  Pros

  CD Recovery Toolbox worked great. I can't understand why many people gave bad reviews. I'm leary of most ratings. Keep an open mind. I trust CNET!!

  Cons

  I have no complaints.

• tries really, really hard, works quite well

  dookie_exFebruary 16, 2014

  Pros

  I really enjoy digging through the treasure trove of stuff I saved and burnt to disk years ago provided by the program. those scratches and crap on your disk deserve a wash at least, and stuff comes back from the dead! n you did save that a long time ago! good for you!

  Cons

  other than the "yes to all" and "no to all" buttons providing the same functionality as the "yes" and "no" buttons to click over stuff that's already been transferred, and your (and my) index finger probably don't need that much exercise. the prog tries really, really hard to get your data right, so much so that you've got to let it take a substantial amount of time. like while you sleep at night... and then sometimes it does hang, where you have to task-manage it to death when it admits to "not responding", which you should know because you couldn't get it to "skip" that old mp3 (that was off of some old HD you got from a machine they were throwing out at work and foolishly burnt to DVD years ago and weren't/aren't really interested in anyway), but I do love it for trying so hard, not knowing I don't really care. at least a thousand times better than dragging and dropping results, assuredly, wants me to give it high marks for just that.

  Summary

  does what it does. can take forever and then some, but all good things can't be rushed. I like it a lot, assuredly worth infinitely (infinitely^2?) more than I paid for it. patience is a virtue, be virtuous. it makes me very happy to discover all those things I burned long ago, they're all (mostly) still there beautiful as ever,

• Perfect,Works Great...!!!

  NedunNovember 8, 2013

  Pros

  I tried with a CD with scratches. Recovered 595MB out of 600MB.

  Cons

  Slow There is no option to save restored log.

  Summary

  My Malwarebytes anti-malware and ESET antivirus didn't find any malware with this product. I found good review about this product except on this site. Also I tried CD Check V 3.1 and Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier. Out of these, CD Recovery Toolbox Free is the best.

• Didn't work as expected

  josephabmSeptember 30, 2012

  Pros

  Did not work in my case.

  Cons

  Did not work, got it uninstalled.

  Summary

  Threw message as "no CD/DVD drives for restore operation". Got another recovery tool named isobuster, which did wonder and helped me recover some important files. Thanks neways.

• Not pretty, but neither was the disc

  crucialhermanSeptember 16, 2012

  Pros

  Simple interface, common sense save path.

  Cons

  Doesn't multitask well, with part of the interface disappearing after alt tabbing so that no progress indication could be seen from that point.

  Summary

  I had three large zip files on a DVD that windows couldn't access. CD Recovery Toolbox slowly but surely recovered two of the three files. It is a good first step before looking to physically rejuvenate a disc surface. Some extra code allowing the user to designate a cut-off point would be good. I left this running overnight and it was still running, with the third file only about 0.5% done (irrecoverable clearly). Having said that, progress is not linear so run this with nothing else in the background and when you don't need to use your pc and it may still get there in the end.
