PM me if you want to know how to get round such restrictions. ;-)

Or just ask Karlos. :-)

Shouldn't that really be directed at A4K? He's the one that needs sudo access to a *nix box to follow your advice ;-)

Mel uses a certain nameless bloatware OS at work, the latest version of which is known to install successfully on shredders.

The closest she's getting to *nix at work will be an OSX laptop ;-)

If he hasn´t got root access to his own personal machine, then that is worrying. ;-)

@A4K

You can get dd for windows I believe, the usage should be pretty similar.

Or you could download a Linux LiveCD than copies to ram.

@CannonFodder

He didn't say he had a unix box. Therefore it's unlikey he has root access to it - any unix box he does have access to is going to be somebody elses.

Even if he did have one of his own, you don't have to create a sudoers list :-D

Just don't forget your root password!

It reads...

"Dear world. Having been forced to endure a trip to Unixland in order to attempt a recovery of a dud DVD, I have been pushed beyond my endurance and have decided to take my own life. And those of the people responsible. For unix. And FreeBSD. And Linux. Well, mostly theirs, I might leave mine alone..."

Anyway, ISOBuster is busy slooooooowwwly working away doing something with the DVD-R. But according to the UK weather forecast there will be 6" of snow on the ground before it has finished in the morning. Brrrrr!

Not all *nixes have a root user. :-P

Well, without a root user or sudoers list, your earlier advice could be a bit tricky to follow :-D

No need for a root user account to have sudo access for all users.

See your fave OS as an example. ;-)

Well I've been at it for hours (no not that  :lol: )

ISOBuster 2.0 found this much before the 60GB HDD in the laptop ran out of space. Doh!




I then quickly deleted some of my precious music videos to free up some space, only for it to say something like "you need to be registered to extract" Doh! Doh! Doh!  :boohoo:

G'night from the UK  :sleep:

WooHooooooooooo!!!!! Me is so happy  :-D  :-D  :-D

Firstly I need to kiss Mel  :knuddel: (no she wasn't of any help with my problem, but it was nice too see her in this thread and who wouldn't want to kiss her anyway  :lol: )

My special thanks to CannonFodder and countzero. Also thanks to Karlos for just being around posting where no man has posted before  :-)


As you can see I have managed to get all 4 VOB files from the corrupted DVD-R and Nero is currently creating a new Federer V Roddick DVD  :-D

Did anyone watch Leona in The X Factor last year? Well I recorded all of her amazing live performances but the same Sony RDR-VX420 destroyed them too. Would anyone be mad enough to have kept those old discs and be able to use IsoBuster on them now? Yep! Little ol me :laughing:


Many thanks again to you all  :cheers:

 :lol: So I guess you kindly offered your help because I'm an Amigan that likes tennis :pint:

To be honest most tennis is just boring ping-pong to me as well. But Roger Federer is awesome and will prove to be the greatest player of all time. No-one knows for sure if Tyson would have beaten Ali. But we saw Federer beat the great Sampras at Wimbledon and "the keys were exchanged" as Sampras said himself.

Basically, I just like to see the best in the world doing there stuff. Whether it be Tiger Woods playing golf or England playing football :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I'm not parting with my rescued DVD but one seller of the Federer V Roddick match is making a nice few quid www.ebay.co.uk item number 110088237973
