i burned a cd using nero, disc-at-once on a cdrw. it was an .nrg image containing 2 tracks. 1 track is a data track, the second is an audio track. the cd is used for my dreamcast.

i burned it successfully and everything works on my dreamcast. now, i want to extract some files off this cd on to my pc. here's the problem, when i put the cd in my pc, it reads it as an audio cd. with 2 .cda file for both tracks.

now how do i extract the original data from this cdrw? i used isobuster to no avail. any help?

Try using ISOBuster on the .nrg file

i deleted the .nrg file. is there any other way?

re-create the nrg image using Nero from the burned CD you made. I know, this sounds like a lot of extra work, but if ISOBuster won't parse the files from the CD, I can't think of another way.

how do i make an image of the cd if explorer only views it as 2 .cda tracks. won't it just make an image of those 2 files?

Good question. I would say give it a try and see what happens.
