[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1408469, member: 46727"] Please use paragraphs when posting! Not too many folks are going to have the patience to read through a wall of text.... It seems you have a number of problems. Problem number one. Tuxera is buggy and has been known to corrupt NTFS drives when reading from OS X. So that would be the first thing I would get rid of. Instead use [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]Paragon NTFS[/URL] ($19.95). It also appears that your optical drive is failing. Since it can't read your original Leopard DVD nor a new Snow Leopard DVD, it has to be the hardware. I know you said it can read other CDs and DVDs but keep in mind that both the Leopard and Snow Leopard DVD are dual layer which require a high amount of laser power to read the disks. And lastly, which data recovery software have you tried? [URL="http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php"]Data Rescue 3[/URL] is very good at recovering deleted files and should be able to give you partial files names at least. [/QUOTE]
