How to extract data from an ancient CD-R?
There is a CD-R disc, with various files, written more than 10 years ago, and now, when I open it, I do not see a single file, as if it is empty (there is nothing in the hidden ones either).
When I inserted it into the TV DVD player, all its real content was displayed there.
Can you tell me how to extract files from this disk?
Programs for restoring and slowing down the speed of the disk do not help, I found the most ancient drive, it also does not show anything. But there is data on it and it does not give me rest.

If you have any *nix system, dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/cd.iso
where /dev/sdb
is CD (the block device name is system specific).
Try other drives. Friends, acquaintances, colleagues. Some drive will read
