Put the disk in and then type "dmesg" in a terminal window. That should  
give you some hint as to where the raw device is ( /dev/cdrom or /dev/cd0  
or something)
Then see if you can look at the raw device by typing "head -50 /dev/cdrom".  
If you get a bunch of unreadable garbage, there is probably info there.

Then you can work on getting a dd image of the drive "dd if=/dev/cdrom  
of=/path/to/cd.img" and then you can run the previously mentioned apps on  
the .img file

That's just how I would take my first stab.
