CD DVD data recovery software allows you to recover and rescue lost or corrupted data from damaged and unreadable disks. The top 3 CD DVD data recovery freeware for Windows 11/10, in my opinion, have been listed here.
Recover Data from CD DVD
1] IsoBuster
IsoBuster is a highly specialized, easy-to-use optical media data recovery tool. The high-end program has the capability to use its ‘Retry’ mechanisms to aid you in getting the data back, even if Windows is not able to do so.
The latest release, IsoBuster accommodates some new features and improvements. This includes,
- Ability to “OK to all” on Windows IO errors during extraction to avoid X amount of such dialogs when multiple files are processed
- Updated EWF support to the latest and greatest status of the LibEWF project
- Ability to build lists, showing the extent of fragmented files. [Business] feature.
2] CDCheck
This software is a good alternative to IsoBuster. It is free for personal use. However, you are required to request a free license for personal use CDCheck online. For this, you must register as a CDCheck online user, activate your account, log in to CDCheck online and request the free license.
This CD DVD Data Recovery Software scans disks in minutes, to indicate the overall health of a DVD or a CD. If a CD or DVD shows any damaged file that you can no longer read, CDCheck can be switched to recovery mode and make a full sweep of the CD or DVD, recovering lost files along with the way.
3] CD Recovery Toolbox
The CD Recovery Toolbox Free scans any CD or DVDs to recover data, considered as lost. This tool tries to find and restore the possible maximum amount of information. Necessary to mention this since not all the lost data can be recovered.
Once you run the program, it displays a list of all files and folders available for recovery. A user can then select the files and folders which he wishes to recover and restore. Only those specific objects which have been selected will be recovered while the others will be ignored.
Features:
- Recovers information from any CD and DVD disks
- Recovers files larger than 4 GB
- Detects possible lack of free space on the hard disk for storing the recovered files.
All the above free software are compatible with Windows 11/10.
Do let us know if you have any favorites!
Looking for more options? These free Data Recovery software and USB Drive Recovery software are sure to interest you.
Thanks for the top 3, very helpful applications.
Thanks for appreciating ..
the other two programs are crap and don’t work to find missing volumes. isobuster is the only one that finds the lost files and multi-session/multi-tracks. unfortunately that costs $.
Unfortunately, landed quite late here. What happens exactly is I want to recover data form one of my scratched CD. I already tried all the mentioned tools and it seems none of them could able to even read the CD. Do you’ve any ideas or any different software that can recover some of the files (if not all) from the damaged CD??
Meanwhile, i’m also looking for opinion on the software entitled Stellar Phoenix CD Recovery Software. Any suggestions would be truly appreciated.
Thanks!!

I couldn’t get CD RECOVERY TOOLBOX to find my no-read DVD – it just kept hashing. So no-score on DVD.
CD worked but that OEM OFFICE 2003 was so degraded by age (not scratches) that it was impossible to recover. Had I let it run – it would have taken months at about 1Mb per HOUR!
I DID LEARN how to use it this way – you have to be selective in file choices and use the SKIP and CANCEL button a lot – just recover what you can. It does a pretty good job of not wasting your time if you do that. Of course that is more useful for a data (or music) CD than for something hectic like an MS Office install disk.
thought recuva was best but this post showed up top ones.. thanks
Data recovery from scratched or damaged is also possible through Stellar Phoenix CD DVD Data Recovery Software. It supports recovery from compact discs burnt on Windows, Mac or Linux Platform.
I need some information about specific recover utilities for my CD and DVD. I find link on this page in IT staff’s public group on Facebook. Firstly I so needed quality content that would solve my problem issues. Many issues were touch to overall health of a CD and a DVD – required urgently restore the information that was stored on disks with scratches. I liked that for each program specified features of the content and the detailed description. Among the all options I could choose necessary.
