Subject: How to recover Compact Pro archives? Urgent...

I had a multi-segmented VERY important compact pro archive that was my only cop
y, and when I tried to uncompact it, I get the message archive is unreadable
or not a compact pro type (or something like that). But the archive is all ther
e, I find out that the disk had gone bad. I have tried everything to recover
the archive, I managed to get it copied to my HD thru MacTools Delux, but the a
rchive is now damaged beause of the bad blocks on the disk. Is there ANY way
to fix or recover the archive?

A warning to users: never buy Kodak or Verbatim disks, this kind of thing has
happened very frequently with these disks, but these were the only disks I had
at the time, so now I'm paying the price. Oh well...

Any help is much appreciated...
