	"SectorExtractionDirectory" is where the successfully read new sectors into the ring will be placed. "extrdirection" refers to at which end of the ring CDarchive is going to be extracting sectors from, and usually it's better to start with forward. Once the command is run, CDArchive will attempt to read sectors at the edges of the ring protection and once the program reports "Cannot read sector X" close it, change direction to "b" and run it again. Once it spits out "Cannot read sector X" from this direction as well, close it again, change back to f and move onto the next ring if multiple is present. The drive may get hot, if this happens give the drive a break, as it will not read as well when it is overheating. Attempt to read into the start and end of every ring present. When you are satisfied, move on to the next step.		"SectorExtractionDirectory" is where the successfully read new sectors into the ring will be placed.
