Files Wrote on CDR don't read work files

I burned some of my moms work files onto a cd big word documents because the computer was getting really slow & had a few viruses. I used the highlight files sent to e: (cdrw) to burn them. Windows goes through the process and i finish it. I take out the cd to reformat the hard drive and i coudl see where it wrote. I reformed and reinstalled windows and i go to get the files off the cd and there is none. Windows picks the cdr up as a blank cd but i wrote stuff on it. I really need to get these files I'm thinking maybe it didn't finalize. Does anyone know whats up? I really need help bad.

ep I have windows xp sp1. When I click on the properties for the cdr the file system says raw date. Is there away i can convert raw data to data i can use. I really need this files bad.

What did you use to burn? Did you use DirectCD, InCD or some other packet-writing program? If so, you'll need to reinstall the software or a UDF reader to see the files.

I don't use XP but I believe the integrated CD recording capability requires two steps. When you send the files to the CD, they are actually saved to a temporary folder, but then you must finalize the CD in order for the files to be written.

Maybe someone else knows about this.

sometimes...SOMETIMES i have had this problem and been able to make isobuster read the cd when windows cannot. Personally i found any cd finalized on any of my pcs, will only work on the one it's been burned on ::shrug::

www.isobuster.com

i think it's a limited trial, to the extent that some high end options are blocked
