Looking for ISO tool

[si_ok]

ok, here's the senario. my ff8 disk one is damaged, so some sectors cannot be read. however, i know which sectors ar damaged (6 ). i was wondering if i could make a patch to patch those sectors. i make an iso, and, asking someone in this forum to use cdrwin to extract those sectors, send them too me and apply them to my iso. problem is, that i don't have the programming skills necessary to make such a program myself to do the patching. i there anyone out there can help me? (i believe this is a great way to fix those scratched cd problems)

This method does work. (I've used it repair a scratched ff9 disk). Anyways its a simple proceedure. You don't need any patch software at all to do it either. Just a program capable of extracting raw data sectors from a cd (eg cdrwin or the iso tool included in the batard).

Ok:

1. try to extract the entire disk to locate the faulty sectors. (write the range down)

2. Extract all the readable sectors into segments, eg in the case where sectors 2000-5000 are faulty, extract sectors 0-1999 into a file called part1.bin and 5001+ into a file called part3.bin.

3. Obtain the missing sectors (can be achieved in the same manner). Make sure that this is from EXACTLY the same version of the game that you have. eg in the case above name it part2.bin

4. join the files using the dos "copy" command, ie

"copy /b part1.bin + /b part2.bin + /b part3.bin /b workingISO.bin"
(No Quotes)

That will create a file called workingISO.bin which is a perfect iso image.
