Judging from the time it takes my drive to seek to other tracks, which is
nowhere as fast as the seek rate of my hard drive, I suspect there;s some
sort of search algorithm being used. And regardless of the drive, if the
inner tracks are damaged, there's an excellent likelihood that the drive
will refuse to mount the CD.
What if took a black magic marker and blacked out the inside tracks?
This method was used awhile ago to defeat copy protection on music CDs,
but the outside tracks were blacked out.
Cheers,
Bryan
