Yes its possible but you need the image OR someone who has the image on another host to split it up and see which part is bad.
1. split the dvd into 1 mb chunks (or larger) (must be same split both sides) 2. md5sum each on both side, run a diff between the md5sum output 3. replace the bad 1mb chunk 4. cat files back together to make a fixed iso 5. re-run md5 check confirm its fixed Justin.
