not necessarily... have you tried the drag & drop (or copy & paste) method to copy the files from the DVD to your hard drive?

also, have you just tried copying in one particular DVD drive? i ask this because sometimes if my DVDROM drive (read, will not burn DVDs) will not read a DVD, or if my DVD burner will not read a DVD, it will almost always be readable in the other drive. in fact, i cannot think of one instance when this wasn't the case - the other drive, in my experience, has always pulled through in the clutch.

of course, this will not be a 100% success rate, but you're trying to salvage data here. if you have another drive capable of reading a DVD, by all means, try copying the DVD to your hard drive with this other reader.

if you don't have another drive, perhaps you have a friend with one that can copy the DVD. it's worth a shot if the DVD isn't easy to come by.

good luck.
