Dear Sir or Madam,
Using K3b I burned a Data-DVD with K3b (Data Project) to store important data. All seemed to be usual. Now I would like to copy these data from DVD to hard disk. But I cannot. Dolphin does read the folders but not the files. I tried it with Windows. But it failed too. When I use K3b to make a copy of the DVD I get the following message:

I would like to read the data and put them on my hard disk. What can I do now?

Kind regards,
Sigurd

Please ensure that the disk is clean, and try in another computer. Different DVD drives may allow you to read the contents of the disk (as they work differently)

Hi,
I tried it on a different computer with the same result. I even tried it on a Windows computer. It was impossible to copy the data from the DVD to the hard drive.

I have encountered problems reading some DVDs in a graphical file manager. Sometimes it is because there is a fault on the DVD but sometimes it appears to be because there are too many small files on the DVD. In these cases, opening a console and using cp works fine.

May not work but may be worth a try in the absence of other suggestions.
