OT: Data recovery from incomplete CD

[J. Landman Gay]

In the wake of my recently deceased hard drive, I have a CD that may 
contain a few files I lost. It was created while standing at the Apple 
Genuis Bar with my fingers crossed while my Mac was booted from their 
utility hard drive. 90 percent of the copying completed before the drive 
gave up and died. The CD was forced-unmounted while still uncompleted 
and the hard drive declared a total loss.

While I have all my important files backed up, the CD contains a few 
odds and ends I'd like to get back if possible. When I put the CD into 
my Mac, Finder tells me it is a blank disk. Disk Utility doesn't see it 
either. I know there are at least a few megabytes of data on it though.

I've tried a couple of data recovery programs but they won't work unless 
the CD will mount, and this one appears blank in both OS X and WinXP. 
Anyone know of a utility that could deal with this? Either OS is fine.

It won't be disastrous if I can't get the files back, but I'd like to try.
