can also recover files from damaged CDs, and even repair CDs.

Easy CD Creator: Lets you make your own CDs, including music CDs that can
be played on your home or car stereo CD player, or data CDs for storing
computer data such as the files and folders on your hard disk.
When you install Easy CD Creator, each application has an online help guide that
shows how to use it.
