    More advanced users may also try the “Track Analyzer” option, which will allow you to look at a graphical representation of the tracks and the disk as well as a hex editor view of the contents. You can select track mode, which will show the individual tracks close up or disk mode, which will show you  an overall view of a disk.

  5. If you are running this tool to extract the files, go to the CCA tools SIP creator section to run that on the extract extracted files and the disk image (if you want to keep it).
