I bought this months Linux Format magazine (LXF133) which now has a thin Eco-disc DVD attached. This is pretty flexible item and it did look a bit distorted. Well when I tried it out it would not work in my drive.
I had read on a blog some time ago, that people had been able to recover date from failed HD's by putting them into a plastic freezer bag and leaving in the freezer over night. All sounded a bit far fetched to me. But I thought I would put the failed DVD in my freezer for a couple of hours and see what happens, there being nothing to loose as it didn't work anyway. Guess what after this 'treatment' it works as normal!! May be the low temperature took out the distortion allowing the disk to spin properly in my drive?
