I actually meant a tool that would list the errors, rather than how
to get whats possible from the CD, didnt say that very clearly.

It appears to have affected about half the tracks, like I said early
on. I was basically looking for a tool that would give me a clear
display of errors per track so I could see how many of the bad
tracks the owner of the CD cared about recovering.

Just your fantasy/lying. I just commented on your peurile antics
about working out which was the writeable side of the blank.

As far as the use of felt tipped pens are concerned, I JUST
said that you dont see reports of the Sanford Sharpies producing
that result, NOT felt pens in general. And you yourself said
that you hadnt seen any problem when using a sharpie.

It wasnt one I wrote on, it clearly aint, its obscenely
thick, much worse than the Staedler or TDK.
