Burned CD that shows no space and no data

[AidanEnos]

I burned a CD as a backup and left it in "CD-R Only" when my comp was running Win98 (SR1), the disc showed files and I tested them when I did it, but now that I have upgraded to XP Pro, when I put in the disc it shows 0 bytes used, 0 available, data format RAW and NO FILES.

Any ideas on recovering the data?

Thanks,

Did it write the TOC [Table Of Contents] when it finished?
Have you tried it in another Win98 computer with a CD-RW drive?

Perhaps you didn't finalize the CD (close session)? Newposter

What program did you use to make the CD? Are you trying to read the CD from the same CDROM or CD Burner?

If this was made as a regular CD, then it should read in any CDROM drive. In case yours is having problems, try the CD in another pc as a test. If it still won't read, then the CD is the problem and it must have been from the way you made it.
