Dead Disk Doctor is a software that allows you to copy files from damaged disks. For example, one of your favorite DVD movies is scratched and the DVD player stopping and skipping during you watch the movie. You can solve it using Dead Disk Doctor, to copy files from damaged disk on to Hard Drive or to make a copy with corrected movie or music album.

Editor's review for Dead Disk Doctor

With the prevalence of CD-r and DVD-r media, it will inevitably happen that you’ll come across a disc that Windows refuses to read. This could be because the disc itself is damaged or the original data was burned to the disc incorrectly. Dead Disk Doctor allows you to copy data off of any damaged DVD or CD, as well as USB media and hard drives.

It must be said that Dead Disk Doctor isn’t a miracle cure. It’s not guaranteed to copy your entire damaged disc without problems. However, there’s a good chance that most of your data can be recovered. Dead Disk Doctor uses several different algorithms to scan your media and read any part that’s still intact. Sometimes, a file will seem to copy just fine but you’ll receive a CRC error. This generally means that some portion of the file is corrupted. If the file is an application, it’s not advisable to run it, but if it’s a document of some sort, you will likely be able to access most of the data.

Dead Disk Doctor Plus is available with a lifetime license for $5.95. Now there’s a price where you truly can’t go wrong. The Plus version allows you to copy data CDs and DVDs in addition to the ability to recover files off a damaged hard drive or USB drive.

When a hard drive goes, frustration can set in, especially if you haven’t been making consistent backups. As long as you can boot from another hard drive, CD, network or USB device, you can use Dead Disk Doctor to recover what you can, whether it’s just a few documents or an entire hard drive worth of data.

Do your data a favor by getting Dead Disk Doctor and recover it from damaged disks.
